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
