Close your eyes and let sand sprinkle in
Drift away let your dreams begin
Take a ride and journey inside your imagination
And I'll be by your side
Yes, I'll be by your side
So sleep little child
Close your eyes and count floating sheep
Lose conscious thought 'til you fall fast asleep
Don't make a sound and don't move around 'til your dreaming deep
Tomorrow's far away
So far away
And it's a brand new day
Follow your heart and follow your soul
And you'll learn your part and your role
In life, to be loved and love in return
It's all a game to learn
Close your eyes and let love fill your soul
Open your mind 'til you close every hole
Reach for your dreams but never give up 'til you score every goal
And things will work out right
Yes, things will work out right
So fall asleep tonight
Close your eyes and wipe off your tears
Dry them before you drown in your fears
Sail away to oceans and bays 'til it all disappears
There's nothing left to say
No, nothing left to say
So sleep where you lay
Follow your heart and follow your soul
And you'll learn your part and your role
In life, to care and do what's right
For now, just sleep tight
Good Night
