| The sandman told me he’s done all he can
|
| The situation calls for more than sand
|
| You’ve been crying all night long
|
| Tossing and turning and it’s almost done.
|
| I am here, I’m gonna help you sleep
|
| Count on me instead of counting sheet
|
| Close your eyes and leave the rest to me.
|
| And you’ll have sweet dreams at the last of night
|
| And easy feeling and a morning light
|
| Drift away with a touch of the hand
|
| From the sleep tight, goodnight man.
|
| Soft and sooth and as a lullaby
|
| I’ll kiss your tears from those weary eyes
|
| And in the morning you will understand
|
| That you’ve been touched by the goodnight man.
|
| I’ll rock you gently like a rolling wave
|
| Hold you in my arms until you drift away
|
| So just lay back and leave the rest to me.
|
| And you’ll have sweet dreams at the last of night
|
| And easy feeling and a morning light
|
| Drift away with a touch of the hand
|
| From the sleep tight, goodnight man. |
