Rock You to Sleep Songtext
von Jonathan Kelly

How did we get so lucky,
And how have we come so far
All we′ve learned for what we earn
We both have to work so hard.
But woman I'm so proud of you,
You′ve stood by me all along,
One more day is coming our way,
And f we're to do our best,
We'd sure better get some rest.


So I′ll rock you to sleep,
Like a babe in the cradle,
Too tired for caressing,
Much better we do some resting
I′ll rock you to sleep, So we can start out bright and early,
For one more sunrising and one more day.

It's not so we′ll have possessions,
Or live like the wealthy do,
That keeps us on, going strong,
Slaving the whole day through.
But so we can hold our heads up,
And live just the way we choose,
And end each day, together this way,
So even in this dark night,
Our future is shining bright.

Some day when we've got cash to spare,
You′re going to let down your hair,
We'll take some time off in the sun,
A just reward for all the work we′ve done.
