Mr. Sandman’s Lullaby

[Verse 1]
Hush now, darling, close your eyes
Draw the curtains on the sky
Shadows dancing down the wall
But you’re safe here, after all
[Chorus]
Here comes Mr. Sandman’s lullaby
Tipping his hat as he’s drifting by
Sprinkling dreams in a velvet line
“Sleep, my baby, you’ll be fine”
Oh, Mr. Sandman’s lullaby
Soft as a secret, low and sly
Lay your worries by the door
You won’t feel a thing anymore
[Verse 2]
Footsteps fading down the stair
Ticking clock and midnight air
Silver moonlight on the floor
You won’t hear him at your door
[Chorus]
Here comes Mr. Sandman’s lullaby
Tipping his hat as he’s drifting by
Sprinkling dreams in a velvet line
“Sleep, my baby, you’ll be fine”
Oh, Mr. Sandman’s lullaby
Soft as a secret, low and sly
Lay your worries by the door
You won’t feel a thing anymore
[Bridge]
(one, two) count your sheep now (hey)
Three, four, slip in deep now
Five, six, don’t you cry
Seven, eight, kiss the night goodbye
[Chorus]
Here comes Mr. Sandman’s lullaby
Tipping his hat as he’s drifting by
Sprinkling dreams in a velvet line
“Sleep, my baby, you’ll be fine”
Oh, Mr. Sandman’s lullaby
Soft as a secret, low and sly
Lay your worries by the door
You won’t feel a thing anymore
