I WATCH YOU SLEEPING MY WEARY HEART RISES UP ON WINGS
I HEAR YOUR LAUGHTER SOMETHING DEEP DOWN INSIDE ME SINGS
WAY DOWN HERE IN THE LAND OF COTTON
YOU WERE BORN ON A RAINY DAY
SINCE THEN SWEET THINGS LONG FORGOTTEN
THEY JUST KEEP FLOODING BACK MY WAY
OH CHILD I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW THE TIME JUST FLIES
BUT I HAVE HAD MY DAYS OF GLORY UNDER SUNNY SKIES
BUT THESE DAYS YOUR BRIGHT DREAMS ARE ALL I WANT TO SEE
SLEEP TIGHT ANNABEL YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON ME
IN THIS COLD WORLD FOLKS WILL JUDGE YOU
THOUGH THEY DONT KNOW YOU AT ALL
AND I MAY NOT BE THERE TO CATCH YOU ANYTIME THAT YOU MIGHT FALL
BUT YOU GOT MY HARD HEAD AND YOUR MOTHERS GRACE
ALL THE LIKENESS OF THE LOVED ONES RIGHT THERE IN YOUR FACE
BUT I KNOW IN THE END YOU LL BE WHO YOU WILL BE
SO SLEEP TIGHT ANNABEL YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON ME
