Porter Wagoner - Sleep Song Lyrics

(Jack Clement)

Sleep, sweet and deep
Visit me for awhile
Sleep, come over me
Let me rest and dream awhile.

Of two young lovers making plans
Of dreams I dreamed when dreams began
Of things that could and should have been
Before the eternal sadness moved in.

Sleep take over me
Set me free to dream awhile.

Of sunlight shining in her hair
Of days with laughter in the air
Of my world of sweetness again
Before the eternal sadness moved in.

Sleep sweet and deep
Let me rest and dream awhile.

Let me rest and dream awhile...
