Sleep On

Maybe its the quiet of the dark that I like
Or maybe its the peace and dreams that come with the night
I don't know what it is when those stars come out and shine
But somehow my sadness slips into the night

Maybe its the hush of the whole world
Or maybe its the peaceful sleep of each boy and girl
Someone sets the clock to chime and it rings aloud
But it's caught up in the whirr of the night's silent sound
[Chorus]

Chorus:
Sleep on sleep on
I just might write a lullabye
Sleep on sleep on
Hold onto your pillow tight
Sleep on sleep on
Kiss me on the cheek goodnight
Then smile soft and close your eyes
Sleep on sleep on
I just might write a lullabye

Maybe its the gentle breathing that I hear
Or maybe it's the flutter of the dark lashes I hold dear
I like to watch as you drift off in sweet blissfull cheer
The vigor of a child grows tired as the eve nears

Maybe it's your voice whispering in prayer
Or maybe it's your little hands folded in prayer
I listen as you bless each one into the Father's arms
And close my eyes as you plead to keep your soul from harm
[Chorusx2]
Maybe it's the quiet of the dark that I like
Maybe it's the hush of the whole world
Maybe it's the gentle breathing that I hear
Maybe it's your voice whispering in prayer
