Steady Breathing

Mary Black

Hush now sleep is coming
I’ll keep my hand on your brow 
Good night steady breathing now
    
It took a lot for you to say
So proud and strong but not today 
There’s so much that I can do
But I can’t take this away from you
    
I say, hush now sleep is coming 
I’ll keep my hand on your brow 
Good night steady breathing now
    
We’ve been through the how and why 
It only serves to make us cry 
Tomorrow you must brave the fight 
But I won’t leave alone tonight
    
Hush now sleep is coming
I’ll keep my hand on your brow 
Good night steady breathing now
    
Behind those eyes I know so well
The struggle now a living hell
Unspoken words but the truth remains 
The enemy is running through your veins
    
And you have so very much
A children’s love and a lovers touch 
Hold on strong and don’t let go 
Tonight the stars are shining
Just for you, you know
    
I say, hush now sleep is coming 
I’ll keep my hand on your brow 
Good night, steady breathing now 
Hush now sleep is coming
I’ll keep my hand on your brow 
Good night, steady breathing now 
Steady breathing now
