Sleep With Me Or Tuck Me In

Sleep with me or tuck me in

Don’t ask me to just go.

The doors are shut and the lights are dim

But the clock ticks by too slow.

I listen to the ticking

As my mind wanders away,

Thinking of all I could say or do

Just to make you stay.

Please come back and hold me

I feel so cold alone.

Come keep me warm, don’t let me be

Here all on my own.

I miss your voice telling me,

“You’re beautiful”, in my ear.

The butterflies they make me say,

“How I wish you’re here”.

It doesn’t matter if we fight,

Say a few harsh words or so.

I just want you to hug me tight

And never let me go.

Now you’ve become everything,

You mean the world to me

And every time I toss or turn

It’s your face I want to see.

So the next time I speak to you

I’ll ask you so I’ll know,

“Now sleep with me or tuck me in,

Or will you ask me to just go?”.
