Lyrics

[Chorus]

Sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

If we just sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

[Verse 1]

Tonight there will be no more quarrelling

We'll shut out the lights, close our eyes

I don't know how this started

I don't know why we fight

I'll apologize for all the unkind things I said to you

Why can't I see what's right for me, might not be right for you

[Chorus]

We've gotta sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

If we just sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

[Verse 2]

People are gonna think

What they what to think

Feel what they want to feel

I don't wanna see you cry

And I don't wanna see you compromise

There are things that shine

The brightest in your eyes

Hold on to your dreams

Hold on to them tight

[Chorus]

We've gotta sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

If we just sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

[Instrumental]

Oh, people are gonna think

What they want to think

Feel what they want to feel

I don't wanna make you cry

I don't wanna see you compromise

There are things that shine

The brightest in your eyes

Hold on to your dreams, boy

Hold on to them tight, ooh boy

[Chorus]

We've gotta sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

If we just sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

We've gotta sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

If we just sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

We've gotta sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

If we just sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

We've gotta sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright

If we just sleep on it

Everything's gonna be alright
