📀 S/N: Sing Me To Sleep
🎙 Artist: AlanWalker
#LYRICS


[Verse 1: Iselin Solheim]
Wait a second, let me catch my breath
Remind me how it feels to hear your voice
Your lips are movin', I can't hear a thing
Livin' life as if we had a choice
Anywhere, anytime
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
Yesterday got away
Melodies stuck inside your head
A song in every breath

[Chorus: Iselin Solheim]
Sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
Won't you sing me to sleep now?
Sing me to sleep

[Breakdown]

[Verse 2: Iselin Solheim]
Remember me now, time cannot erase
I can hear your whispers in my mind
I've become what you cannot embrace
Our memory will be my lullaby

[Chorus: Iselin Solheim]
Sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
Oh, won't you sing me to sleep now?
Sing me to sleep

[Breakdown]

[Outro: Iselin Solheim]
A-anytime
I would do do do do
Time away
Yesterday-day
A-anytime
I would do do do do
Time away
Yesterday-day-ay-ay-ay

🍁🗣 READING/SPEAKING PRACTICE📢🍁

🎊 Story: The Needle Tree 🎊

There were once two brothers who lived on the edge of a forest. The elder brother was very mean to his younger brother and ate up all the food and took all his good clothes. One day, the elder brother went into the forest to find some firewood to sell in the market. As he went around chopping the branches of a tree after tree, he came upon a magical tree. The tree said to him, ‘Oh kind sir, please do not cut my branches. If you spare me, I will give you my golden apples’. The elder brother agreed but was disappointed with the number apples the tree gave him. Greed overcame him, and he threatened to cut the entire trunk if the tree didn’t give him more apples. The magical tree instead showered upon the elder brother hundreds upon hundreds of tiny needles. The elder brother lay on the ground crying in pain as the sun began to lower down the horizon.

The younger brother grew worried and went in search of his elder brother. He found him with hundreds of needles on his skin. He rushed to his brother and removed each needle with painstaking love. After he finished, the elder brother apologised for treating him badly and promised to be better. The tree saw the change in the elder brother’s heart and gave them all the golden apples they could ever need.

Moral Of The Story:
It is important to be kind and gracious as it will always be rewarded.
