Sleep sweet

Sleep sweet my dear

For sleep is just a dream

Happiness shielded by darkness

Life as a truth

 

For sleep is just a dream

And time once a thought

Life as a truth

Heart a stopwatch

 

Time was once a thought

Never-ending and free

Your heart a stopwatch

Counting each day to a rhythmic beat

 

Never-ending and free

The mind wanders

Counting each minute to a rhythmic beat

Until the ticking stops

 

The mind wanders

Happiness shielded by darkness

Once the ticking stops

Sleep sweet my dear
