Sing Me to Sleep Lyrics

As a child I wept I was afraid
That if I slept I would not wake
But slumber came until the dawn
When Mama sang a bedtime song

Now as darkness falls on my last day
Casting a pall on where I lay
Let me make one last request
Before I take eternal rest

Sing me to sleep while I close my eyes
A soft and sweet lullaby
I'm asking please don't say goodbye
Sing me to sleep one more time
