Sing me to sleep

To the long, lovely slumber

Where your pretty face is all I see.

Send me to my favourite destination

To the blissful world of delightful dreams

Where my dream with you is alive.

Sing me to sleep

To the wondrous world of your seductive smile

Where your scent is all I feel

And your presence is lasting.

Sing me to sleep

Let the charming lyrics work the magic

And the rhythms suck my anguish

So when I eventually wake up

Your sweet voice is all I shall remember.
