Sleepy Queen

by Yankee & the Foreigners

on Yankee & the Foreigners (2017)

[Verse 1]
Long ago I was told 'bout a lady far away from here
Lovelier than fresh new fallen snow
And long ago I was told if I travelled far and wide
That I might find her sleeping in her bed alone

[Pre-chorus]
Ooooooooh
Oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah
Ooooooooh
Oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah

[Chorus]
This is my song for you
My sleepy queen
Well I hope your nights are long and your dreams are sweet
I will keep away the monsters underneath your bed
And I hope you'll always wake up next to me

[Verse 2]
Now the shadows they grow long
As the golden leaves begin to fall
The autumn winds are blowing you away
And if you cannot find repose
In the bleak mid-winters and this cold
I hope this song will help you get some rest

[Pre-chorus]
Ooooooooh
Oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah
Ooooooooh
Oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah

[Chorus]
This is my song for you
My sleepy queen
Well I hope your nights are long and your dreams are sweet
I will keep away the monsters underneath your bed
And I hope you'll always wake up next to me

[Bridge]
I'm coming home, coming home to you
I'm coming home, coming home to you

[Verse 3]
And everywhere I go
I will sing so all the world will know
About the slumbering royalty I loved
Though my heart will sleep with yours
My mind will wake with every morning
That it wakes up far away from you

[Pre-chorus]
Ooooooooh
Oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah, oh-oo-woah

[Chorus]
This is my song for you
My sleepy queen
Well I hope your nights are long and your dreams are sweet
I will keep away the monsters underneath your bed
And I hope you'll always wake up next to me
