Joss Stone › Lyrics › Sleep Like a Child

Tonight when the darkness comes
Why don't we treat it like a friend
Then we'll both be glad to see the night
And we'll be hoping, it's never gonna end

So don't be afraid of what the night-time may bring
You must understand that you can dream of anything

So fall into sleep, peaceful and deep
And may this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger

Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep
Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep

You won't be alone
For I will not be denied
Under the darkest of skies
I'm gonna be by your side

So fall into sleep, peaceful and deep
And may this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger

Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep
Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep

Well I know, I can see it in your eyes
You're tired of fighting everyday
Trying to struggle through the night

Yes, I know that it's hard to carry on
So just lay down your heard
And in your dreams you will be strong, oh oh

Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep
Oh like a child, peaceful and deep, oh

Sleep like a child, peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down, I pray your soul to keep, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
La la la la la la la la
Ooh ooh yeah yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh yeah
Sleep like a child, ooh
Sleep like a child
