Sleep little girl You're a candle in a cold, cold world And I'm the lucky one afraid as I am I know I'm your only man I feel like a child I need your body close to mine And friends for life ain't easy to find But you, you are a friend of mine I thought I was a man in high school But you can only be a man For a woman who gives you Love treats you good Gives you everything she could And back in '57 I believed in heaven someday And back in '57 I believed in heaven someday Sleep little one You're a rainbow in my morning sun And as I wake up all my thoughts seemed so grey But you, you are a rainbow today I feel like a boy now in the same ways I felt like a man in my high school days I've been brought, I've been sold But that's just rock and roll And back in '57 I believed in heaven someday And back in '57 I believed in heaven someday.
