Today was so full
and so busy for both of us,
But for tonight
all our burdens can keep.
Come let sweet Jesus
be the light in your darkness
And open the way
to the paradise of sleep.
For He grants sleep
to the ones that He loves,
And I live to love you as well.
The last words you'll hear tonight
will be, "I love you,"
For love take us all of
our lifetime to tell.
Your tender sadness it
touches the heart of me.
Howling and scowling
just make you more dear.
With all this commotion
now what can the matter be?
For your sake my darling
I'll always be near.
For He grants sleep
to the ones that He loves,
And I live to love you as well.
The last words you'll hear tonight
will be, "I love you,"
For love take us all of
our lifetime to tell.
