I’ll Sleep

My daddy use to sing about a preacher man
who lost his wife, she was his whole life
He'd kiss me then he tuck me in with his old guitar.
Man, that second verse, I hung on every word
I drift off and get lost in between
the melody then dream and he sing

(Chorus)
Please come back to me
We're gonna build this spring and start a family
Please just one more day so much to say
Don't leave this way
Live's on in my fondest memories
He'd sing and I'd sleep...

Well, I grew up like a weed through my teenage years. Oh daddy tried but I'd bearly say goodnite.
I sure he thought my mind was on girls and school
But I was just way to cool, to say I love you.
But he didn't know when I close my eyes
and turn out the lights
I'd hear

Please come back to me
We're gonna build this spring and start a family
Please just one more day so much to say
Don't leave this way
Live's on in my fondest memories
He'd sing and I'd sleep...

And after all those nights and all these years
Here we are and here he is taken his last breath
And I'm man enough to cry
And hes to young to say goodbye
He is all thats left and I'm scarded to death

Please come back to me
Right now I need you more than anything
Please just one more day so much to say
Wish you could stay and he squeezed my hand
And kissed me on the check and said
you sing and I'll sleep
