Song for a Sleeping Girl Lyrics

I had to taste to see it close
But you're already there
Right next to me
How could you ever find
A better place to be

You're breathing slowly
I let you hold me
I left you so many times
While you were next to me
Your brown hair on the bed
I wanted you to see
This is a song
For a silent sleeping girl
She wants nothing
But to wake and find you there

The words you whisper
They fade in morning
Then I look at her
And her sleeping face
Her foot resting in mine
And then I know my place

This is a song
For a silent sleeping girl
She wants nothing
But to wake and find you there
You there

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Those lyrics are pretty much all wrong. Here are the lyrics as found on the Devics' site:

I had to taste To see it close But you’re already there Right next to me How could you ever find A better place to be You’re breathing slowly I let you hold me I left you so many times While you were next to me Your brown hair on the bed I wanted you to see This is a song For a silent sleeping girl She wants nothing But to wake and find you there The words you whisper They fade in morning And when I look at her And her sleeping face Her foot resting in mine And then I know my place This is a song For a silent sleeping girl She wants nothing But to wake and find you there, you there
