Lyrics
Last night I sat beside the fire
And practiced my guitar
You were lying in the bedroom
Not very far
I stopped for a moment
My eyes filled with tears
The sound of you snoring
Was sweet music to my ears
And I would play the music of you sleeping
Each and every night
Hearing you fast asleep lets me know
Everything's all right
You can rest your tired body
And your mind can now be free
And I will wrap my arms around you
While you sleep here next to me
I wanted you to stay with me
While I figured out my song
But I knew you hadn't had
A full night's sleep in oh so long
So I kissed you good night
And wished you pleasant dreams
Of you flying with angel wings
Guided by moonbeams
And I would play the music of you sleeping
Each and every night
Hearing you fast asleep lets me know
Everything's all right
You can rest your tired body
And your mind can now be free
And I will wrap my arms around you
While you sleep here next to me
When I came to bed I kissed your cheek
And touched your hair just lightly
I made a wish that you would sleep
'Til the sun came up brightly
I closed my eyes and moved in closer
Took a breath so deep
And with the biggest smile upon my face
I drifted off to sleep
And I would play the music of you sleeping
Each and every night
Hearing you fast asleep lets me know
Everything's all right
You can rest your tired body
And your mind can now be free
And I will wrap my arms around you
While you sleep here next to me
And I would play the music of you sleeping
Each and every night
Hearing you fast asleep lets me know
Everything's all right
You can rest your tired body
And your mind can now be free
And I will wrap my arms around you
While you sleep here next to me
