Sleepy Girl

Sleepy girl

Sleepy girl

All the lights are low

Inside our tiny world

All the things I wanna tell you

I can save

For another day

 

Lady Lou

Lady love

We are tumbling like 

Two stars that shine above

Supernova child of mine

You mesmerise 

With your ocean eyes

 

May you walk a million miles in your life

For every corner of the world holds a surprise

When you’re on your way to sail your ship

Across the bright, blue sea

Hope you’ll always come back home

And lay your head here with me

 

Mama girl

Mama girl 

Fade away and dream of colors

Watch them swirl

Flutter like a firefly, keep leaping high

As I hold you close

 

Sleep one

I’m right here

As I whisper all these words 

Into your ear

A new body but a soul who’s old and wise

It’s in your Big Band eyes

 

Any monster you can stare down and defeat

When you fall call on your strong and sturdy feet

Can’t believe you found your way into

My lost and lonely life

I’ll be here to hold you close

Until it’s time to watch you fly

 

Sleepy girl

Sleepy girl

Let’s say goodnight until the light

Of dawn unfurls

Then we’ll play with cups and blocks and books

And sing

Little bug, we’ll sing

 

But for now

I’ll kiss your head

Already miss you as I lay here

In your bed

And when I die 

A long, long time from now

 

Back here is where

Where I wanna be

Watching your baby eyes

Fade and fall to sleep
