Obidi Nnedu - Sleep My Child

So I'm home late at night
Kissing mama I said goodnight
She's been waiting at my door
And she won't sleep while I'm away
I've been playing with my friends
And I never seem to care
But she smiled as I got home
And then she hoped I get some sleep
But then she's waiting
But I ain't sleeping
My light keep shining
And she couldn't take it
She said

Baby close your eyes
You've been playing round all day
And its time to sleep my child
Cos you are hours past your time
Past your time to sleep my child

She was always there for me
Never wanna see me cry
She would give her life for me
Cos I'm the only thing she loves
Every time everyday
She wanna know that I'm ok
Always calling on my friends
To know I've never gone astray
But then I am grown now
She wouldn't take that
I may have grown now
But i'm still her baby
She said

Baby close your eyes
You've been playing round all day
And its time to sleep my child
Cos you are hours past your time
Past your time to sleep my child

Won't let me see the movies
Won't let me hear my songs
She wouldn't let me play my games at night
Won't let me read the papers
Won't let me make a sound
She wants the best for me

Baby close your eyes
You've been playing round all day
And its time to sleep my child
Cos you are hours past your time
Past your time to sleep my child

Close your eyes... close your eyes
Lay your head to sleep my child
It's already 12 at night
And you are hours past your time
