Why Don't You Sleep

[Verse] Why don't you sleep my baby dear Another night the morning's near Eyes so wide and full of dreams But mama's fading at the seams [Verse 2] Moonlight whispers lullabies Stars reflecting in your eyes What have I done Why don't you rest Cradle’s rocking I tried my best [Chorus] Why don't you sleep my little one Mama's tired the night's been long Why don't you sleep my little dove Help me find some peace and love [Bridge] Sleepless nights and weary cries Holding you through blurred eyes Mind is spinning Can't unwind Why don't you sleep Oh won't you be kind [Chorus] Why don't you sleep my little one Mama's tired the night's been long Why don't you sleep my little dove Help me find some peace and love [Verse 3] But through the tears I see your face In the still and quiet place A moment’s rest I start to float Holding on to dreams we wrote [Instrumental] [End]
