Close Your Eyes

©2008 Dave Clegg 

Close your eyes, little boy, 

Let your dreams take you sailing

Where spoons run away with dishes.

Where chocolate rivers bubble up

From sugar candy fountains.

And you wink your eye to satisfy your wishes.

Close your eyes, little boy.

When you’re with the Sandman,  

You can float above the clouds like a feather.

Sleep little boy. Now that you’re in dreamland,

Mommy and I can spend some time together.

Close your eyes, little boy,

No, you’ve had enough water.

And we just changed your sheets this morning.

Hurry up, little boy,

Mommy’s fading fast!

She just gave me the two-minute warning.

Close your eyes, little boy.

Pleeeease do this for Daddy!

See, he needs special playtime with your mother.

So close your little eyes,

‘Cause if you don’t go beddy-bye, 

You’re never gonna to have a baby brother!

Close your eyes!

Now, where are you going?

You just went potty, now it’s time for slumber!

Let go of the cat! 

You broke his tail the last time. 

Now, get back in that bed and saw some lumber!

CLOSE YOUR EYES, YOU LITTLE....

Look, I’m running out of time here!

And as long as you’re awake, I’m not scoring! 

But, if you go to sleep right now...

Oh, forget it!

That sound from down the hall is Mommy snoring.

Close your eyes, little boy, 

Let your dreams take you sailing

Where spoons run away with dishes.

Where chocolate rivers bubble up

From sugar candy fountains.

And you wink your eye to satisfy your wishes.
