Original Broadway Cast of Violet, Sutton Foster - Lay Down Your Head lyrics

You're sleepy now that you've
Done your business, aren't you?
There's nothing keeping you awake
Is there? Okay then
Go ahead go to sleep on me

(sung) lay down your head, and sleep, sleep
I'll be your pillow, soft and deep
Leave me your troubles, I will keep
Your days gone by, your days gone by

Lay down your head, and dream, dream
You're so much gentler than you seem
Is there a chance you might redeem
My days gone by, my days gone by
And oh, his breath is so warm
Mine is short, and my ears are ringing
Everywhere, my skin is singing –

Lay down your head, and sleep, sleep
I will be please, d, your soul to keep
Give yourself over to the deep
Of days gone by, of days gone by
