LYRICS:
The night is so dark and so long
And it will be lonely for some
But there will be stars, whispers of sunlight
Reminding us morning will come

Soon all the shadows will fall
But it isn't as sad as it seems
For safe in this house, surrounded by love
We’ll have the sweetest of dreams

But why is it dark at the end of the day
Why does the sunlight steal away
I don’t know the answer except to say

Even angels have to sleep sometime
Even angels have to sleep sometime
Even angels have to sleep sometime
But they’re never far away

The trees have grown empty and bare
And the flowers have faded away
But in a blanket of gold, the fallen leaves
hold the promise of spring some day

The winter comes bitter and cold
But we'll see the most beautiful sights
Crystalline days of magic and wonder
And silent and sacred nights

But why do the autumn skies turn grey
Why do the songbirds fly away
I don’t know the answer except to say

Even angels have to sleep sometime
Even angels have to sleep sometime
Even angels have to sleep sometime
But they’re never far away
