Lyric
The sandman told me he’s done all he canThe situation calls for more than sandYou’ve been crying all night longTossing and turning and it’s almost doneI am here, I’m gonna help you sleepCount on me instead of counting sheepClose your eyes and leave the rest to meAnd you’ll have sweet dreams that’ll last all nightAn easy feeling in the morning lightDrift away with a touch of the handOf the sleep tight, goodnight manSoft and soothing as a lullabyI’ll kiss your tears from those weary eyesAnd in the morning you will understandThat you’ve been touched by the goodnight manI’ll rock you gently like a rolling waveHold you in my arms until you drift awaySo just lay back and leave the rest to meAnd you’ll have sweet dreams that’ll last all nightAn easy feeling in the morning lightDrift away with a touch of the handFrom the sleep tight, goodnight manAnd you’ll have sweet dreams that’ll last all nightAn easy feeling in the morning lightDrift away with a touch of the handFrom the sleep tight, goodnight manAnd you’ll have sweet dreams that’ll last all nightAn easy feeling in the morning lightDrift away with a touch of the handFrom the sleep tight, goodnight man
