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
