not sleeping anymore

won't you

won't you, sing me to sleep
as light fades away and the sun is erased
won't you, sing me to sleep
my bed's made so deep, I'll never wake
won't you, sing me to sleep
so the sound of your voice fills my ears--
instead of these wet tears

my forehead bares the flame
of fears that burn in my brain
after all, I'm just the same
as everybody else

won't you, sing me to sleep
say goodbye in a melody I can keep
won't you, take me to bed,
so I can cry over words you never said
won't you, tell me yourself
that I'm just a story you'll tell--
in bed with somebody else

I lay here, waste my day
read about a life that threw itself away
envious of his music just the same
as I am of his escape

won't you, lay me to rest
baby, I know it's strange, but please-
it's my last request
sing me to sleep
sing me to sleep
sing me to sleep
