Sarah Monticue - Sang You to Sleep

Lyrics:

Just starting out
You headed south
With pennies in your pocket
But enough love to overflow

A trailer home
It wasn’t much
But it was all you needed
To start your own little family

And when it came to bedtime
You always stayed by my side
I remember when you

Sang me to sleep
Into the quiet evening
So tenderly
The dark could never hurt me
Closed my eyes
Lullabies sent me off to dreamland
While you stayed by my side
I knew you’d never leave me

Then a new job
Gave you the chance
To come back to Pennsylvania
Since it was always home sweet home

You bought a house
Made it a home
Filled it with three more children
Still never running out of love

And when it came to bedtime
You always stayed by our side
We remember when you

Sang us to sleep
Into the quiet evening
So tenderly
The dark could never hurt us
Closed our eyes
Lullabies sent us off to dreamland
While you stay by our side
We knew you'd never leave us

The years go by
They seem to fly
And now you've got grandchildren
Who just can't wait to spend time with you

They keep you young
And how you love
To tell your friends about them
And all the things they're gonna do

And when it came to bedtime
You always stayed by their side
They remember when you

Sang them to sleep
Into the quiet evening
So tenderly
The dark could never hurt them
Closed their eyes
Lullabies sent them off to dreamland
While you stayed by their side
They knew you'd never leave them

But time has flown
The body groans
More with each passing minute
And now the sun is getting low

We never know
When it's the last time
That we'll get to see you
Since you keep longing to go home

And when it came to your time
We always stayed by your side
We remember when we

Sang you to sleep
Into the arms of angels
Now you're at peace
With nothing left to hurt you
Closed your eyes
Lullabies sent you off to heaven
While we stayed by your side
We knew you'd never leave us

We know you'll never leave us

We know you'll never leave us
