Sleep My Child

So I'm home late at night Kissing mama I said goodnight She's been waiting at my door And she won't sleep while I'm away I've been playing with my friends And I never seem to care But she smiled as I got home And then she hoped I get some sleep But then she's waiting But I ain't sleeping My light keep shining And she couldn't take it She said Baby close your eyes You've been playing round all day And its time to sleep my child Cos you are hours past your time Past your time to sleep my child She was always there for me Never wanna see me cry She would give her life for me Cos I'm the only thing she loves Every time everyday She wanna know that I'm ok Always calling on my friends To know I've never gone astray But then I am grown now She wouldn't take that I may have grown now But i'm still her baby She said Baby close your eyes You've been playing round all day And its time to sleep my child Cos you are hours past your time Past your time to sleep my child Won't let me see the movies Won't let me hear my songs She wouldn't let me play my games at night Won't let me read the papers Won't let me make a sound She wants the best for me Baby close your eyes You've been playing round all day And its time to sleep my child Cos you are hours past your time Past your time to sleep my child Close your eyes... close your eyes Lay your head to sleep my child It's already 12 at night And you are hours past your time
