Send Me Off To Dream

Send me to bed,

 

darling.

 

Send me off to dream

 

of loving you.

 

Talk sweetly to me,

 

speak of loving me

 

so I can dream of you.

 

Whisper sweet nothings,

 

just so I may fall asleep

 

and dream upon the

 

lullaby of your voice.

 

Let me sleep as peacefully

 

as a baby.

 

Let me drift off in

 

your arms.

 

Send me to bed,

 

darling.

 

Send me off to dream

 

of loving you.

 

Brush your lips upon

 

my cheek.

 

Let me think the Sandman

 

is really a woman,

 

an angel guiding over me.

 

Kiss me,

 

oh darling.

 

So that I may dream of

 

a thousand more endless

 

kisses from you.

 

Send me to bed,

 

darling.

 

Send me off to dream

 

of loving you.
