Sleep Late, My Lady Friend Lyrics

Sleep Late My Lady Friend
Let the warm summer breeze drift through your window
Sleep Late My...My Lady Friend
and dream a dream of Ceilito Lindo
We had a time the time of our lives
We did the town
Tore it upside down
Then I walked you home
Sleep Late My Lady Friend
Let the feel of the dance hold your hand as you lay sleeping
Sleep Late My Lady Friend
And dream a dream of a night worth keeping
We had a time, the time of our lives
We did the town
Tore it upside down
Then I walked you home
Sleep Late My Lady Friend

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.
