No more sleep goodnight kiss

Nurse's hands will tuck you in

No husband to sleep next to

The children say goodnight to you

No more missing him at night

You think that he's by your side

No more funerals to bear

Everyone who left is here



You used to say the night may be long

But the day will shortly come

No troubles have you, none

So sleep well darling til the morning



No more nights when you can't sleep

Walking through the house you'd keep

In the dark you were afraid

Someone else could slip away

You would sit beside our beds

Watch our breathing as we slept

No photos of us next to you

You can't see them but we do



You used to say the night may be long

But the day will shortly come

No troubles have you, none

So sleep well darling til the morning



Sleep well mother til the morning
