I'll Sleep

My daddy use to sing about a preacher man
Who lost his wife, she was his whole life
He kiss me then he tuck me in with his old guitar
Man, that second verse I hung on every word
I drift off and get lost in
Between the melody then dream
And he sing
Please come back to me
We gonna build this spring
And start a family
Please just one more day
So much to say
Don't leave this way
Live on in my fondest memories
He sing and I'd sleep
Well, I grew up like a weed through my teenage years
Oh, daddy tried but I'd barely say goodnight
I'm sure he thought my mind was on girls and schools
But I was just way too cool to say I love you
But he didn't know when I close my eyes and turn out the lights, I'd hear
Please come back to me
We gonna build this spring
And start a family
Please just one more day
So much to say
Don't leave this way
Live on in my fondest memories
He sing and I'd sleep
And after all those nights and all these years
Here we are and here he is, taken his last breath
And I'm man enough to cry
And he's too young to say goodbye
And he is all that's left and I'm scared to death
Please come back to me
Right now I need you more than anything
Please just one more day so much to say
Wish you could stay and he squeeze my hand
And kiss me on the check and said
You sing and I'll sleep
