I try to sleep
but my eyes are open.
I can't think
'cause my heart is broken.
And there's a bottle
right next to me,
I'll down a few drinks
just to take the pain away.
I wanna say,
all the things I need to say,
I won't lie,
I'll just tell them honestly.
If God can take a friend
away from me,
Then I can say all I want
and he won't do anything.

My tongue is weak
and every time I try to speak,
I can't say nothing at all.

Sleep well, my friend.
There will be another moment,
We'll meet again.
Just let it go.
Sleep well, good night
You're something to remember,
I wish that you were here by my side.

I spend hours trying
to make it through the day.
I don't know if,
I'll ever be the same.
It's hard enough
When you're all alone,
In the city that you love,
Now Atlanta's just a burial ground.

My tongue is weak
and every time I try to speak,
I can't say nothing...
Nothing at all.

It's hard to think,
When losing someone,
Only makes you wanna scream.
And now that you're gone...

Sleep well, my friend.
There will be another moment,
We'll meet again.
Just let it go.
Sleep well, good night
You're something to remember,
I wish that you
were here by my side.

Rest in pieces,
I can't believe this,
A mother shouldn't witness
Her son die at twenty four,
I will hold my tongue,
For the rest of my life.
I can't keep this up anymore.

Sleep well, my friend.
There will be another moment,
We'll meet again.
Just let it go.
Sleep well, good night
You're something to remember,
I wish that you were here by my side.

By my side,
By my side,
By my side.

Sleep well, goodnight,
You're something I'll remember,
I wish you were here by my side
