Begging me to place my head upon the pillow
To sink to her warm embrace
To let me dream
And not make me wake
But I have to stay awake
Sleep plays soothing music in my ears
Wanting to pull the covers up
To give in to my drooping eyelids
To leave my worries for tomorrow
And sleep for awhile
But I’ve got things to do
Sleep invites me to my quiet room
Coaxing me to my warm bed
To turn out the light
To let me sleep
And not to care anymore
But I must stay awake
Sleep knows I’m giving in
Smiling as I lay down
To keep me warm
To hold me tight
And give me dreams
I cannot fight
