I've waited long for a day
That I pray will come to me
I want nothing more, my needs are small
As you rest here at my side

Sleep another hour, dear, just close your eyes
For the time is fading quickly from our sides
And whispers after midnight echo till the dawn
So close, my dear, until the night is gone

I love you now as I will
When the longest day is through
Know this is true, place your trust
Within this one who lives for you

Sleep another hour, dear, just close your eyes
For the time is fading quickly from our sides
And whispers after midnight echo till the dawn
So close, my dear, until the night is gone

Sleep another hour, dear, just close your eyes
For time is fading quickly from our side
And whispers after midnight echo till the dawn
So close, my dear, until the night is gone

Just sleep another, hour dear, just close your eyes
For the time is fading quickly from our side
And whispers after midnight echo till the dawn
So close, my dear, until the night is gone
