A Song For Sleeping Lyrics by Stone Temple Pilots

Shangri-La Dee Da

2001

[Verse 1]
Finally I've met you
The day has come
You're more than beautiful
And you're my son
I don't deserve this
I never thought it could be
Quite like the moment
When you first smiled at me
A toothless, wonderful feeling
Like I'd never seen
It's you, Noah, it's you
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you lie down to sleep
I'll protect you
From the demons of the night
While I'm watching you grow
[Chorus]
I'll pray
There's so much I could teach you
If you only have the time
Pray
There's so much God can teach you
If you only have the time
[Verse 2]
So will you tell me the little things?
What does God look like?
And angels' wings?
I don't remember these things
So would you teach them to me?
So for the moment
I'll watch you breathe
And when you wake up in the morning
And I pour the coffee
You're always smiling sweetly
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you lie down to sleep
I'll protect you
From the demons of the night
While I'm watching you grow
[Chorus]
I'll pray
There's so much I could teach you
If you only have the time
Pray
There's so much God can teach you
If you only have the time
[Outro]
I'll pray
There's so much I could teach you
If you only have the time
Pray
There's so much God can teach you
If you only have the time
I'll pray
There's so much I could teach you
If you only have the time
