Sing me a song so I can sleep tonight <br />Tell me stories of mystery or woe <br />So, for a moment, my troubles may go <br />And, just once, all in my world might seem right <br /> <br />Sing me a song so I can sleep tonight <br />Make each word seem as if written for me <br />Don’t let your voice waiver or go off key <br />Sing to me until morning becomes night <br /> <br />Sing me a song so I can sleep tonight <br />Although my heart no longer feels that love <br />Though to the side, my emotions, are shoved <br />Sing me a song and make the darkness bright <br /> <br />Sing me a song so I can sleep tonight <br />So, just once, all in my world might seem right <br /> <br />Sing me a song, a song that’s just for me <br />Yes, I know I can’t give you what you want <br />You know I refuse to put up a front <br />But, oh, how I miss songs that set me free <br /> <br />Sing me a song, a song that’s just for me <br />Make it pure and make it rise far above <br />Bitterness that tails unrequited love <br />Please, sing and remind me what I’m to be <br /> <br />Sing me a song, a song that’s just for me <br />I miss your voice pushing me to stay strong <br />I know your very life was a love song <br />I know your heart paid a terrible fee <br /> <br />Oh, please sing me a song, one just for me <br />One just for me, so that I might be free <br /> <br />((February 19th,2011))<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sing-me-a-song-13/
