Sleep Tonight (A Lullaby)

(album: The Music Of Nashville: Season 4, Volume 1 - 2015)

Sleep tonight
'til the morning light
Oh baby sleep tonight
It's gonna be alright

I'll be there when you learn to crawl
And when you're walking like a wind up doll
Sweet girl of mine

I'll be with you on your first day of school
And in the summer when you pee in the pool
Sweet girl of mine

Sleep tonight
'til the morning light

I'm gonna hate it when you have your first date
Good or bad there ain't no way I'm gonna like him
Sweet girl of mine

And when you're 21 I'll buy your first beer
Sit, look back and laugh at all those years with you
Sweet girl of mine

Sleep tonight
'til the morning light

When you're 40 I'll be crippled and old
But don't you put me in a nursing home, oh no
Sweet girl of mine

Sleep tonight
'til the morning light
Oh baby sleep tonight
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
