Till the Sandman Comes

Shadows dance on the wall tonight

Whispered fears in the fading light

Say your prayers, little one

Dreams are spun from the midnight sun

Hold your breath, time's begun

Til the Sandman, he comes

Sleep with one eye open wide

Guard your heart, let fears subside

In the hush, secrets hide

Till dawn breaks through the night

Tuck you in, keep you close inside

Safety in the silent tide

Waves of night, nowhere to hide

Till the morning's light arrives

Gripping your pillow tight

Silent whispers in the night

Stay awake, out of sight

Until the morning bright

Sleep begins to fade away

But dreams linger, here to stay

Hold on till break of day

Till the Sandman drifts away
