Let Me Sleep Tonight.


Verse 1

Every night when I can`t sleep
My heart is sore I lie and weep
When by chance I go to dreams
Reality my dreaming seems.

Chorus.

Oh dear God let me sleep tonight
For while I sleep I hold him tight.
Just for a while he`s mine again
Until the morn I feel no pain.

Verse 2

I see him smile so tenderly
Loving eyes are all I see
While mine are closed I hold him near
Then awake and shed a tear.

Chorus.

Verse 3

I know that I must say goodbye
Let him go, try not to cry.
Oh dear God let me sleep tonight
Just once more to hold him tight.

Chorus.
