A Song For Sleeping Lyrics
Finally I’ve met you
The day has come
You’re more than beautiful
And you’re my son
I don’t deserve this
I never thought it could be
Quite like the moment
When you first smiled at me
A toothless, wonderful feeling
Like I’d never seen
It’s you, Noah, it’s you…
And when you lie down to sleep
I’ll protect you
From the demons of the night
While I’m watching you grow
I’LL PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH I COULD TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH GOD CAN TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
So will you tell me the little things?
What does God look like?
And angels’ wings?
I don’t remember these things
So would you teach them to me?
So for the moment
I’ll watch you breathe
And when you wake up in the morning
And I pour the coffee
You’re always smiling…sweetly
And when you lie down to sleep
I’ll protect you
From the demons of the night
While I’m watching you grow
I’LL PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH I COULD TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH GOD CAN TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
I’LL PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH I COULD TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH GOD CAN TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
The day has come
You’re more than beautiful
And you’re my son
I don’t deserve this
I never thought it could be
Quite like the moment
When you first smiled at me
A toothless, wonderful feeling
Like I’d never seen
It’s you, Noah, it’s you…
And when you lie down to sleep
I’ll protect you
From the demons of the night
While I’m watching you grow
THERE’S SO MUCH I COULD TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH GOD CAN TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
What does God look like?
And angels’ wings?
I don’t remember these things
So would you teach them to me?
So for the moment
I’ll watch you breathe
And when you wake up in the morning
And I pour the coffee
You’re always smiling…sweetly
And when you lie down to sleep
I’ll protect you
From the demons of the night
While I’m watching you grow
THERE’S SO MUCH I COULD TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH GOD CAN TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
I’LL PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH I COULD TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME
PRAY
THERE’S SO MUCH GOD CAN TEACH YOU
IF YOU ONLY HAVE THE TIME

This is a very beautiful. The lyrics are so pure and soothing.
Written for Scott's son,Noah when he was born.
its amazin song, kinda shows how having children affects you. you would do anything for them, keep them safe and pray for the best in them all. even if you're in a mental rock band!
This song makes me cry. It's so beautiful, and so pure. Scott's love for Noah is so apparent, and I just love this song.

Weiland wrote this with bass player Robert DeLeo. They composed it while sitting on the edge of Weiland's bathtub.
