Why you sleep, oh why? br There are already enough stars in the sky br Why you sleep, oh why? br On the bed so silently you lie. br br Dying in sleep is peaceful you said br But where is peace when you are dead? br Today when I stand beside your bed br It feels emptiness in a spoon someone to me fed. br br But we all knew that the end was near br You were strong and fought with no fear br Now I wipe off my last tear br So you can sleep peacefully my dear.
