[Verse 1] Daddy's working late tonight, the city's quiet in the dark With dreams to build and bills to pay, he's got to make his mark I see your eyes are getting heavy, you've been waiting by the door But rest your head, my little one, he’s never far, he's never gone [Chorus] Go to sleep, my darling child, don’t wait up for him tonight In the morning light, you’ll see his smile so bright He loves you more than words can say, though he's working far away Go to sleep, my precious one, he'll be home at break of day [Verse 2] The moon is shining in the sky, your toys are scattered 'round the floor His footsteps echo softly, he’s walking through the door Though you won't see him tuck you in, his love is always near In every whispered lullaby, in every gentle tear [Chorus] Go to sleep, my darling child, don’t wait up for him tonight In the morning light, you’ll see his smile so bright He loves you more than words can say, though he's working far away Go to sleep, my precious one, he'll be home at break of day [Bridge] One day you’ll understand the sacrifice he makes Every night he’s working late, for your dreams he never breaks So close your eyes, and dream sweet dreams, he'll always be your guide In the quiet of the night, his love is by your side [Chorus] Go to sleep, my darling child, don’t wait up for him tonight In the morning light, you’ll see his smile so bright He loves you more than words can say, though he's working far away Go to sleep, my precious one, he'll be home at break of day [Outro] Yes, go to sleep, my precious one, he’ll be home at break of day.
