Sing You To Sleep

He promissed her dreams
Like the ones from the books
That she read as a child
In front of the fire

He gave her romance
With the taste of champagne
A midnight kiss on the beach
Leaving footsteps behind

The look in her eyes
When he told her goodbye
Was like fire underwater
Burning despite the absurd

Now when she comes
To her old empty house
No kisses, no dreams
Greet her at the door

And she says she's ok
And he's out of her mind
Found a man she could trust
And left his memory behind

But to this day she can't hear
That song that he sang
Everynight by her side
Just before she would sleep

I heard he's sorry he left
And life hasn't been sweet
And that he misses those days
When he would sing her to sleep
