Verse 1
I lie here beside you
softly stroking your troubled brow
Wide awake to my smile you stare
Like a stranger to me now
Bridge
I think I knew for some time
Love left your eyes for good
Chorus 1
So Sleep Quietly my love
I won't trouble you now
Wander off into your dreams my love
Let me cry for now
Verse 2
Now I lie here beside you
Wondering why we have to part
The truth be told you're a glorious soul
But too much for me to hold
Bridge
We both knew it was time
Love sent us blind to the truth
Chorus 2
Sleep quietly my love
I'll shed no tears till you go
I know I promised more than the love I gave
But I have to go
I still love you so
Verse 3
I'm past the point of indifference
To anything that you can say
Aint it sad how our memories washed away with time
did we forget to love somehow
Bridge
Cause in the moments I loved you
It all felt so good
But where are we now
Chorus 3
Sleep quietly my love
There's no tears for you now
Although our love can't be saved
I still want you somehow
Chorus 4
Sleep quietly my love
Don't make a sound
You wanted more than the love that I could give
I still love you
I still need you
Verse 4
In time we both know
We'll find another love
Until that day I'll keep a key
And a lock to hold our love
Cause I still love but the pain's too much
So I have to let you go
Sleep quietly my love
till I let you know
Outro
Wont you sleep my love
Sleep my love
