From the recording The River
Sleepy Head was co-written with a friend and musician David McGregor. The innocence and purity of an infant is what this song speaks to. Years later these beautiful little people evolve into who they are now, but in those early months life is simple.
Lyrics
Sleepy Head, Marc Audet & David McGregor
Your smile, your cheeks, your laugh
By day, you are my little angel
Each day, on dusty wings
You bring me joys I’ve never seen
You are my aaaaaaaaaaaangel…
You are my aaaaaaaaaaaangel…
You are my angel …
But no more, ups and downs
Go to bed, my sleepy head
Wipe away, the scowl and lay
Your head down, my sleepy head
You are my aaaaaaaaaaaangel…
You are my aaaaaaaaaaaangel…
You are my angel …
Float along, the rivers of dreams,
No more work, for this little being
And it seems, that when angels appear
They appear as sleepy heads
You are my aaaaaaaaaaaangel…
You are my aaaaaaaaaaaangel…
You are my angel …
Just watch me, for when you wake
Once again, you’ll be my little angel
Your smile, your cheeks, your laugh
By night, you are my little angel
Your smile, your cheeks, your laugh
You know, you are my little angel
