Lyrics

(C)Stay

a wake, don’t rest

your (G)head;

(Dm)don’t

lie (G7)down up on

your (Cmaj7)bed.

(C)While

the moon drifts (C7)in

the (F)skies,

(Ab7)stay

a (C)wake,

don’t (G)close

your (C)eyes.

(C)Though

the world is fast

a (G)sleep,

(Dm)though

your (G7)pil low’s soft

and (Cmaj7)deep,

(C)you’re

not sleep y (C7)as

you (F)seem,

(Ab7)stay

a (C)wake,

don’t (G)close

your (C)eyes.

(G)nod

and (C)dream;

(Ab7)stay

a (C)wake,

don’t (G)nod

and (C)dream.
