Sleep Through The Night

Please, just wrap me in your arms

And sleep, sleep through the night.

 

You can count stars while I count your lashes.

You can believe while my wall crashes.

You can dream while I swim in your scent.

You can lay down while I catch my breath.

You can smile while I love you again.

You can forget while I seize the pain.

 

But please, just wrap me in your arms

And sleep, sleep through the night.

 

You can count drops as the rain falls down.

You can believe as I give up my crown.

You can dream as the music sounds.

You can lay down as my heart beat pounds.

You can smile as the skies turn grey.

You can forget as time fades away.

 

But remember to wrap me in your arms

And sleep, sleep through the night.
