I'll Sleep Lyrics - Anything Goes - Randy Houser

My daddy used to sing about a preacher man 

Who lost his wife, she was his whole life 

He kissed me then he took me in with his old guitar 

Man that second verse, I hung on every word 

I'd drift off and get lost in between 

A melody and a dream and he'd sing 

Please come back to me, we're gonna build this spring and start a family 

Please just one more day, so much to say, don't leave this way 

Lives on in my fondest memories, he'd sing and I'd sleep

Well, I grew up like a weed through my teenage years 

Oh, daddy tried but I'd barely even say goodnight 

I'm sure he thought my mind was on girls and school 

But I was just way too cool to say I love you 

But he didn't know that when I close my eyes 

And turned out the lights that I'd hear 

Please come back to me, we're gonna build this spring and start a family 

Please just one more day, so much to say, don't leave this way 

Lives on in my fondest memories, he'd sing and I'd sleep 

After all those nights and all these years 

Here we are and here he is taking his last breath 

And I'm man enough to cry and he's way too young to say goodbye 

And he's all but lived and man I'm scared to death

Please come back to me, right now I need you more than anything 

Please just one more day, so much to say, wish you could stay 

And he squeezed my hand and kissed me on the cheek 

And said you sing and I'll sleep
