"Sing Yourself to Sleep" in THE HORSE GATE

Priscilla Trumble sings "Sing Yourself to Sleep" in THE HORSE GATE original musical, the second story of THE WHIRLWIND CHRONICLES novel/musical series. 

VERSE:                        

Sing yourself to sleep

When you’re happy.

Sing yourself to sleep

When a snappy

Tune arrives inside your mind,

Like a sweet refrain of the heavenly kind.

Instead of counting sheep,

Sing yourself to sleep.

VERSE:                         

Sing yourself to sleep

When you’re hazy.

Sing yourself to sleep

When a lazy

Melody is floating past.

Oh, the possibilities are vast.

Why don’t you take the leap?

Sing yourself to sleep.

BRIDGE:                       

Let the music fill your head.

Let the lyrics fill your heart,

And soon you’ll start to drift.

The world will start to shift

Into a wonderful, marvelous dream.

VERSE:                         

Sing yourself to sleep

When you’re lonely.

Sing yourself to sleep

When you’re only

Just a toss and turn away

From a good noon’s rest after making hay.

Uneasiness can’t creep

If you sing yourself to sleep.

BRIDGE:                       

Feel the meter in your hands.

Feel the rhythm in your toes,

And soon you’ll start to blur,

The song will start to stir

Into a glorious, fabulous dream.    

                                   

VERSE:                         

Sing yourself to sleep

When you’re weary.

Sing yourself to sleep

When you’re leery

That you’ll be awake all night

In a bout of fear and an endless fright.

Oh, don’t you make a peep.

Sing yourself to sleep.

TAG:                             

Sing yourself to sleep.

Sing yourself to sleep.
