I begin to dream with barely open eyes tonight
A quiet melody, it sings to me, asleep I fall
With whispered songs of hope that come toward my ears and stick inside my head
And hold at bay the fear, the droplets on the pane reverberate the same thing
Sleep well, sleep well tonight
Oh won't you sleep well, won't you sleep well tonight
All that I believe and all I know that we can do
It begins again with day and it begins again with me and you
So let's be quiet and be still and steal these peaceful hours all away
And claim the stars as ours, I know just where they'll be and what they'll say they will sing
Sleep well, sleep well tonight
Oh won't you sleep well, won't you sleep well tonight
Won't you sleep well, sleep well tonight
Won't you sleep well, oh, won't you sleep well tonight
