"Sing Yourself to Sleep" in THE HORSE GATE Broadway musical

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.
