The Sound of Sleeping

This is the sound of sleeping A sound that I rarely know As quickly as it comes to me then it goes This is the sound of sleeping I feel its touch on my head If only for a moment then it leaves my bed Won't you stay a little longer Please stay a little longer This is the sound of peacefulness It wanders far from me I feel my heart beat faster as it leaves This is the sound of security I mourn its passing waves My hands grow weaker still everyday Won't you stay a little longer Please stay a little longer Stay a little longer Stay a little longer Stay with me as the clouds give way to starlight Stay with me as the dusk becomes the night Stay with me as the night turns into morning Stay with me Stay with me when the sun begins its breaking Stay with me when the world begins its waking Stay with me when my eyes have yet to close Stay close Won't you stay a little longer Please stay a little longer
