Tonight we'll sleep alone
And tonight I hope we sleep happy
Our time was on loan
But I pray we sleep happy tonight
I know you are on your way and the future is walking on air
While you could be making dreams too big to dare
I can't say sometimes anymore
Because life often isn't fair
But that is no reason to lose the smile from your face
You can find devotion anyplace
So I'll stay here with a bouquet of memories
And ask they won't be erased
No long romances
No short-stemmed roses
No more big talks of love
Just a few short hours
A few big laughs
I know our words were enough
Tonight we'll sleep alone
But I hope you are sleeping alright
Our time was on loan
But I pray we sleep happy tonight
"Sleep happy," was the last thing you said to me
And I intend to find comfort in these sheets
I may not make it to summer, I'm looking to fall
But I'm bundled up tight now in this cold winter's free for all
"Sleep happy," was the last thing you said to me
And I intend to follow through thoroughly
I may not wake to the sun glowing in your eyes
But after tonight tomorrow will be a prize
