Lyrics	ENGLISH: Sing me to sleep, the shadows fall, Let me forget the world and all. Tired is my heart, the day is long, Would it were come to evensong. Sing me to sleep, your hand in mine, Our fingers as in prayer entwine; Only your voice, love, let me hear, Singing to tell me you are near. Love, I am lonely, Years are so long, I want you only, You and your song; Dark is life's shore, love, Night is so deep, Leave me no more, love, Sing me to sleep. GERMAN: Sing mir dein Lied im Dummerschein, gieb mir Vergessen aller Pein. Lang ist der Tag, mein Herz so schwer, wollt', dass mein Leid voruber wur. Sing mir dein Lied, reich mir die Hand und fuhr' mich sanft isn Traumeland. Wenn auch mein Auge dich nicht sieht, Lieb, du bist nah, ich hor' dein Lied. Nichts is geblieben, Nacht ist so lang, lass mis dein Lieben und deinen Sang. Wund ist mein Herz, Lieb, schwer mein Gemut, bleib du bei mir, Lieb, sing mir dein Lied.
