If anyone likes these lyrics and would like to put them to music, I would be very happy. Please, feel free to alter the words any way you like…
Please, let my baby sleep (needs music)
She was our baby-girl,
my darling´s star and mine,
with red cheeks and sweet small curls,
she left way before time…
She was our heaven´s gift,
so little and so cute…
yet it is so short she lived,
she fell asleep for good…
Crossed that line of no return,
where everyone will go…
it´s so long some candles burn,
while others just burn low…
Her hand held my fingertips
as if they were her shield…
they were red, her small sweet lips –
a grief that never healed…
(Chorus)
Maybe she´s sleeping… maybe she´s sleeping…
dreaming of some better days…
maybe she´s sleeping…
while time keeps creeping…
while time keeps creeping…
and, one by one, takes all of us away…
She was our baby-girl,
now she´s a star that shines…
with red cheeks and sweet small curls,
she left way before time…
What´s the point? What is the nub…?
…just love that runs too deep…
she sleeps, do not stir her up,
please, let my baby sleep…
(Chorus)
Maybe she´s sleeping… maybe she´s sleeping…
dreaming of some better days…
maybe she´s sleeping…
while time keeps creeping…
while time keeps creeping…
and, one by one, takes all of us away…
