Lyrics

Sleep Little Babe


Verse 1
The night catches up
With the sun once a day
And pushes it down
To a land far away
Stars in the sky
Become a brilliant sight
And the man in the moon
Arrives for the night

CHORUS
Sleep little babe
The light fades out west
Fall asleep little baby
Your daddy needs rest
Your daddy knows best

Verse 2
The sandman arrived
By the light of the moon
He worked his magic
While I sang this tune
But something went wrong
His aim was awry
You?re still awake
And there?s sand in my eye

Repeat chorus

Bridge
Step into dreamland I?ll be right behind
Close your eyes for me and happiness we?ll find

Verse 3
Now your eyes have closed
Mine are open wide
As I watch you sleep
I?m filled with pride
Counting sheep ?til morn
I?ll be counting too
I?ll count my blessings
That I have you
