Baby, sing me to sleep.
Painful memories when you say that you need me.
You save me from leaving things that I might need,
But the missing piece is out of my reach.
But I don't mind if you can't be with me all of the time.
So be on your way. No, that is not what I wanted to say.
I just want you, no, I need you to stay.
Baby, sing me to sleep.
Drunken melodies when you say that you love me.
Well, maybe I need to guarantee,
'Cause the way you speak, you're scaring me.
But I don't mind if you can't be with me all of the time.
So be on your way. No, that is not what I wanted to say.
I just want you, no, I need you to stay.
And I know, I know that it won't be long
'Till you a-running, righting the wrongs
Ignoring the light to swallow the fright
To make it in time to keep me safe tonight.
Baby, sing me to sleep.
No apologies when you say that you love me.
But I don't mind if you can't be with me all of the time.
So be on your way. No, that is not what I wanted to say.
I just want you, no, I need you to stay.
