Alan Jay - Smile All Night Lyrics

There's a girl I could sing to sleep, but she's far away
I can hear her sigh as she closes her eyes and drifts away
I can hold her to the very next day

I know her hair can hide her face when she sleeps at night
I'd wake up at times, brush it aside, and watch her a while
Just looking at her restful smile

I sing, rest my baby, smile all night
Your window knows that the breeze is cold
And the stars are bright
But when I sing this love song you won't hear me

I'm so sorry that the road can take me so far away
Sometimes it seems that this job just ain't worth the pay

There's a girl in a big down quilt with a teddy bear
She's had a real hard day of paints and clay, colors everywhere
There's still some in her hair

I sing, rest my baby, smile all night
Your window knows that the breeze is cold
And the stars are bright
But when I sing this love song you won't hear me
When I sing this love song you won't hear me
When I sing this love song you won't hear me
