Sleep, come on and take me Until my love comes home Sleep, don't you forsake me 'Cause I'm so all alone All the time I'm by my own somehow My heart keeps bumping me Can't you see I'm sad and lonesome For the want of company Sleep, come on and take me Until my love comes home Old men sleep For every lover you paint a new tomorrow Old men sleep And you discover a way to chase away my sorrows Please don't wait until tomorrow Sleep, listen to me why don't you come and take me 'Til my love comes home Sleep, listen to me, now please don't forsake me I'm so all alone All the time I'm by my own some My heart's pumping me Can't you see I'm sad and lonesome For the want of company, lordy, lord Sleep, listen to me why don't you come and take me 'Til my love comes home, alone Comes alone, till my love comes home
