Lullabye for One
So I need to be awake in like 3.5 hours and yet I am not sleeping. So I got up to listen to one of my favorite lullabyes by one of my favorite artists, Susan Werner.
LULLABY FOR ONE From: Midwestern Saturday Night (1993) Copyright © Susan Werner
I am my own big brother
And I am my own best friend
I am the songs of my mother
And I am the one I'm depending on
So why lie awake over far away fears
If the good moon should slip out of sight
I'll just lean down and kiss me
And turn out the light
'Cos it's me who can tell me goodnight
The night comes to call on my troubles
He asks for the worries I keep
I give him the weight off my shoulders
I give myself sweet dreams and plenty of sleep
I give myself buckets of laughter
I give myself busloads of kids full of play
I send myself seventy-six dozen roses
I send myself night and I send myself day
So why lie awake over far away fears
If the good moon should slip out of sight
I'll just lean down and kiss me
And turn out the light
'Cos it's me who can tell me goodnight
I am my own big brother
And I am my own best friend
I am the songs of my mother
And I am the one I'm depending on
So why lie awake over far away fears
If the good moon should slip out of sight
I'll just lean down and kiss me
And turn out the light
'Cos it's me who can tell me goodnight
Sweet dreams....

I hope your sleep improves -- and SOON! I know how much going to work every day on 3 or 4 hours of sleep can suck.
I slept like a baby last night! I guess the secret is to get beyond exhaustion!
