FOR A MOMENT

By Lauren Marsh

Say goodnight, say goodnight,

In my ear, whisper dear,

Close your eyes and I'll close mine,

But hold me tightly, tighter,

​

We'll only sleep for a moment,

Cause a moment's all I can bear,

We'll only sleep for a moment,

And until we open our eyes, 

Know that I love you,

​

Down my arms you find my hands,

And I can feel you breathing with me,

The air is cold, but you're keeping me warm,

And the moon is shining bright,

​

We'll only sleep for a moment,

Cause a moment's all I can bear,

We'll only sleep for a moment,

And until we open our eyes,

Know that I love you,

​

Say goodnight, say goodnight,

But hold me tightly, tighter,

Close your eyes and I'll close mine,

But I'll dream of you,

But only for a moment,

​

We'll only sleep for a moment,

Cause a moment's all I can bear,

We'll only sleep for a moment,

Cause a moment's all I can bear,

We'll only sleep for a moment,

Cause a moment's all I can bear,

We'll only sleep for a moment,

And until we open our eyes,

Know that I love you.
