Sleep With Angels

Sleep With Angels by Spragga Benz

Blessed y’know.

[I know I’ll see you one day]
Well it’s always a sad reminder, lest we forget
[I know I’ll see you one day]
Dat in di middle of life there is death
[I know I’ll see you one day]
And no colour, race nor creed, dat nuh respect, y’understand
[Sleep away, sleep away, sleep away
So fi alla my family and friends and fi alla your family and friends who past off and gone before
[I know I’ll see you one day]
I send diss one out for di heart y’know
[I know I’ll see you one day]
Yeah. Bless it
[Sleep away, sleep away, sleep away]

You just sleep with angels
May your spirit rest in peace
Rest in eternal peace
And a hope dat one day we all can meet and reason pon Glory Street
So sleep with angels
May your every dream come true
I mean it, honest, I do
Until my likkle heart stop beat there will always be place for you
That’s true

Can’t believe but we haffi accept the fact
Say that you’re gone away and not coming back
Oooh why must life be like that?
Why death commit such a terrible act?
But then again
Whatever the reason or cause
We can’t too question the works of The Lord
Cause although the judgment might look so hard
Eternal life might be the reward
So my friend

May your spirit rest in peace
[I will see you one day my friend]
Rest in eternal peace
[Rest In Peace]
And I hope dat one day we all can meet and reason pon Glory Street
[I will see you one day my friend. Glory Street]
But sleep with angels
[I will see you one day my friend]
May your every dream come true
[Rest In Peace]
I mean it, honest, I do
[I will see you one day my friend]
Until my likkle heart stop beat there will always be place for you
[Glory Street]

Well dem say, ‘Di lord giveth and taketh away’
Nobody pon earth never come, haffi stay
Just like a cigarette inna di ashtray
You live all yuh life, then you die one day
And life is a gift to both rich & poor
Death is the only thing that is sure
Every man must go through The Black Door
So alla mi friends who go thru before I sing

May your spirit rest in peace
[I will see you one day my friend]
Rest in eternal peace
[Rest In Peace]
And I hope dat one day we all can meet and reason pon Glory Street
[I will see you one day my friend. Glory Street]
But sleep with angels
[I will see you one day my friend]
May your every dream come true
[Rest In Peace]
I mean it, honest, I do
[I will see you one day my friend]
Until my likkle heart stop beat there will always be place for you
[Glory Street]

And now di memories of the days gone by
Flash through my brain like the clear blue sky
Some make mi happy, some make mi waan cry
Ooooh why you had to die!
Leaving a big empty space that’s so hard to fill
But wi haffi accept all The Almighty will
So mi nah watch no face
Mi a carry on still
But we must meet again my friend, so until then

May your spirit rest in peace
[I will see you one day my friend]
Rest in eternal peace
[Rest In Peace]
And I hope dat one day we all can meet and reason pon Glory Street
[I will see you one day my friend. Glory Street]
But sleep with angels
[I will see you one day my friend]
May your every dream come true
[Rest In Peace]
I mean it, honest, I do
[I will see you one day my friend]
Until my likkle heart stop beat there will always be place for you
[Glory Street]
