Kelly's Lot - Sleep on It Tonight (feat. Rick Monroe)

It was rainy hard on a hot summer day
He came from oh so long ago and so far away
He knocked oh so gently afraid someone might hear
And she opened up the door like she'd done through all the years

I've come to ask for your hand he said
But don't answer yet

They were friends at 15, at 16 he moved away
He said that he'd be back somehow someway
But time has a way of slipping by so fast
That even true love can feel like it will never last

And there he was at her door to say
Be my Love today

Sleep on it tonight
Sleep on it tonight
I left you many years ago but I've come to make it right

I can't believe you're here tonight

As time stood still all she could see
Was two young souls so wild and free

And so she held her breath and with her heart
She said yes

But I'll Sleep on it tonight
I'll sleep on it tonight
I've waited all these years for you to make me your wife

Sleep on it tonight
Sleep on it tonight
I left you many years ago and I've come to make it right
Sleep on it tonight

I can't believe you're here tonight
I can't believe I'm here tonight
I can't believe we're here tonight
I can't believe we're here tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
I can't believe we're here tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Sleep on it tonight
Sleep on it tonight
