‘stead of goodnight I’ll sing you a lullaby
just close your eyes
we ain’t gotta worry ‘bout tomorrow tonight
oh, your bed’s so nice and warm
I should know
I think I mighta been there once or twice before

‘stead of goodnight I’ll kiss you a lullaby
if you look in my eyes
that’s the only stars to wish on tonight
oh, just sleep the day away
no more words to confuse you
jus’ listen to your heartbeat say

she say
I’m missin’ you
missin’ charms and open arms
and babe, I got nothin’ left but dreams
‘bout holdin’ you while you’re sleepin’
countin’ seconds ‘stead of sheep
‘cause that hourglass’ too steep
guess I gotta lay back
and pray for sleep—
promised you a lullaby, didn’t I?

stead of g’night, I’m just goin’ bide my time
if there’s guilt on your mind
guess that you ain’t goin’ be sleepin’ tonight
all you got’s the bed you made
hope you got some pillows left
you can stuff ‘em with those lies that you saved
