Before You Sleep

Verse 1

Lights are low and the room goes quiet

You fight your eyes but you're losing ground

I pull the blanket up past your shoulder

Hum a little something with no sound

Pre-Chorus

So close your eyes

Let the day fall away

Close your eyes

I'll be here when it fades

Chorus

I will sing next to you before you sleep

Soft and slow till your breathing deepens

I will sing next to you before you sleep

Every note a promise I will keep

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Stay with me

Mm-mm

Verse 2

Your hand curls up like a tired question

I answer with a quiet tune

The clock ticks slow on the wooden dresser

And I hum the moon right into your room

Pre-Chorus

So close your eyes

Let the day fall away

Close your eyes

I'll be here when it fades

Chorus

I will sing next to you before you sleep

Soft and slow till your breathing deepens

I will sing next to you before you sleep

Every note a promise I will keep

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Stay with me

Mm-mm

Bridge

If the morning comes too fast

If the dreams go strange and steep

I will hold the quiet for you

Sing you past the edge of sleep

Chorus

I will sing next to you before you sleep

Soft and slow till your breathing deepens

I will sing next to you before you sleep

Every note a promise I will keep

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Stay with me

Mm-mm
