Come sleep, oh sleep, surreptitiously
Come sleep, oh sleep, surreptitiously
tiptoeing unnoticed, slip into my room
tiptoeing unnoticed, slip into my room
Sleep come into my room, tiptoeing slip,
unnoticed, surreptitiously, sleep come
With quiet arms and gentle hands
With quiet arms and gentle hands
And soft lips like a summer breeze
And soft lips like a summer breeze
Gentle, summer with quiet arms,
And lips, hands like and breeze
My rest is where your embrace is
My rest is where your embrace is
And your palm is where I am safe
And your palm is where I am safe
Where is your palm? Where my rest?
Am I safe? Is I and your embrace!
Your quiet arms are a summer breeze
Your gentle hands soft and safe
Surreptitiously and unnoticed sleep
Is my rest like lips embrace?
Your palm and sleep come
where I am; slip into my room
