Lyrics Lullaby - Greg Brown

Lullaby

I look at you, and I think of bed
You move so cool and freely
And I know what’s goin' on in your head
Oh, babe, you make me sleepy
We’ve been married all these years
We know each other deeply
And oh my dear, oh my dear
You still make me sleepy
The children, they are nearly grown
And ain’t they turned out sweetly
Tonight they’re out, and we’re alone
And, oh babe, you make me sleepy
I know your stories, you know mine
Ah, but tell that one again to me
About that room and the red, red wine
Oh, babe, it makes me sleepy
You make me feel like lying down
Let down your hair completely
Ah, when you put on that old nightgown
Oh, babe, you make me sleepy
And in your arms I sleep so fine
So well do you meet me
And you can wake me any time
Oh, babe, I ain’t that sleepy
