Lyrics
Sleep like a baby
Invoking the idea of peaceful sleep akin to a baby's slumber.
Sleep like a child in my arms
Desiring someone to sleep with the innocence and comfort of a child while being held.
Sleep like a baby in my arms
Reiterating the wish for the person to sleep comfortably like a baby while being embraced.
I want you to feel peace in mind
Expressing the desire for the person to find mental tranquility.
I want you to dream of the happiest times of your life
Encouraging pleasant dreams about the happiest moments in life.
Turn away your darker side, just for tonight
Asking the person to temporarily set aside their troubles or negative thoughts.
Sleep like a baby
Repeating the desire for the individual to sleep peacefully.
Sleep like a child in my arms
Echoing the desire for the person to sleep with the comfort of a child while being embraced.
Sleep like a baby in my arms...
Restating the wish for the individual to sleep comfortably like a baby while being held.
Won't you let me take you back, to when you were young
Proposing to transport the person back to their youthful, carefree days.
I'll make you feel sheltered, I'll make you feel warm
Offering protection and warmth to the person, reminiscent of feeling safe as a child.
Won't you let me take you back...
Repeating the desire to take the person back to happier times.
Sleep...
Repetition emphasizing the wish for peaceful slumber akin to a baby's.
Sleep...
-S l e e p ...
-Sleep like a baby...
-Lay your head down here on my pillow
Inviting the person to lay their head on a comforting space.
Lay down here by my side
Asking the person to be close and find comfort by the singer's side.
Turn away your darker side...
Reiterating the request to momentarily set aside any negativity or worries.
Just for tonight...
Requesting this respite to be temporary, just for the night.
