Song information
One of the first songs I wrote years/decades ago… I recorded it for the first time around a dozen years ago… but then last years I wrote a short instrumental prelude. So this is a writing effort that spans more than 4 decades… not sure how interesting this little tidbit really is… but this song may have been my first success at getting to the heart of a subject when writing… somebody help me out with genre here... I have no idea what it is?

Lyrics
Goin’ thru the motions day by day

Someone tell me how I feel cause I can’t say

There remains an ache that dull but deep

Now I lay me down to sleep



And if I should die before I wake

I can not see what difference that would make

Ours was not a promise she would keep

Now I lay me down to sleep



Then I’ll dream we still have time to play

She’s right beside me and she says she’ll stay

We still share one soul there is no pain

But morning comes the dream is lost like tears in rain



Then I’ll recall how life will never be

The essence of her soul still fresh on me

Though she had me there she sold me cheap

Now I lay me down
 
Now I lay me down 

Now I lay me down to sleep

Lovely song. I really liked the intro. Pop is a fine genre classification.

The prelude sets things up beautifully Scott. The main body of the song is equally beautiful and deeply emotional and evocative. It's been a long time... but I've felt this and felt it hard. Wish I'd heard this back then. It would have been therapeutic. I know... T.M.I. Very fine job on the vocals bro. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The guitar is beautiful The vocals and melody outstanding. Perfect. Life seems to make sense when sleeping, it seems to come apart when I awake.
