If You Sleep Lyrics - Singles - Tal Bachman

Figure of divine perfection 

No one's loved with more affection 

Soul to soul we've breathed 

Oh, I won't let the fates succeed 

Worried hours of contemplation 

Whispered bits of conversation 

Unaffected orderlies 

Ah, disinfected rooms and hallways 

And if you sleep, you sleep with God 

And if I cry, it's for my heart 

Why should I hope to make it through? 

'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too 

Jagged thorns and pretty petals 

Butterflies and stinging nettles 

Sunny days and nights of blackness 

But where's the joy to cure my sadness? 

And if you sleep, you sleep with God 

And if I cry, it's for my heart 

Why should I hope to make it through? 

'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too 

Why should I hope to make it through? 

'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too 

Gleaming cars and covered faces 

Teary eyes in hallowed places 

Grass and granite stone 

No one's been more all alone 

And if you sleep, you sleep with God 

And if I cry, it's for my heart 

Why should I hope to make it through? 

'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too 

Why should I hope to make it through? 

'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too 

If you sleep, if you sleep 

If you sleep, I'll sleep too
