Lucy Kaplansky - Sleep Well lyrics

No more sleep goodnight kiss Nurse's hands will tuck you in No husband to sleep next to The children say goodnight to you No more missing him at night You think that he's by your side No more funerals to bear Everyone who left is here You used to say the night may be long But the day will shortly come No troubles have you, none So sleep well, darling, 'til the morning No more nights when you can't sleep Walking through the house you'd keep In the dark you were afraid Someone else could slip away You would sit beside our beds Watch our breathing as we slept No photos of us next to you You can't see them but we do You used to say the night may be long But the day will shortly come No troubles have you, none So sleep well, darling, 'til the morning Sleep well, mother, til the morning
