Sleep my dear
Sleep my dear
Sleep till the darkness is gone
And the morning has come
Sleep my love
Sleep my love
Sleep till the sun rises high
And lunch has been served
Sleep for as long as you like
For there’s nothing to do
And there’s nothing to say
And there’s nothing on TV
Except talk shows and soaps
Oh take me away and put me to bed
Sleep my girl
Sleep my girl
Sleep till the late afternoon
When the mail has arrived
Sleep my child
Sleep my child
Dream for the evening is nigh
And why get up now?
Sleep for as long as you must
To get rid of the time
That so rapidly falls
And is taken away
But you wish it would last
For at least one more hour
But I don’t have the power
And I don’t have the will
So I’m taking this pill
And I’ll lie down beside you and
Sleep my dear
Sleep my dear
Sleep till the darkness is gone
And the morning has come
