Go to Sleep Songtext

von Simon Webbe

(Go to sleep my little baby
Go to sleep my little baby
Your mama's gone away and
Your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe)

The light is fading
It's the end of the day
She's lying awake
Wondering if tomorrow's
Gonna be her friend

She's too young to
Understand, but knows
Something's wrong
Now Mama has gone
And daddy's doing
All that he can
To recompense

And out of these lonely days
She's trying to make the most
This unfamiliar place,
She's trying to make it home
She's working hard to get
The kind of love her mama gave, oh

(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
Your mama's gone away and
Your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe [2x]

She takes the pressure
And she hides it away
Still wakes everyday
And always sets the table
For an extra place

This ain't what she chose,
This is what she's got
Hope that when she grows old,
No one needs to pay the cost
She's working hard to be
The kind of girl her mama was, oh

(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
Your mama's gone away and
Your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe [2x]

Mama's gone away and
Your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe

Nobody
Go to sleep, go to sleep,
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Your daddy's gonna stay, hey
Your daddy's gonna stay, hey
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, ...
