The sandman told me he's done all he can The situation calls for more than sand You've been crying all night long Tossing and turning and it's almost done. I am here, I'm gonna help you sleep Count on me instead of counting sheet Close your eyes and leave the rest to me. And you'll have sweet dreams at the last of night And easy feeling and a morning light Drift away with a touch of the hand From the sleep tight, goodnight man. Soft and sooth and as a lullaby I'll kiss your tears from those weary eyes And in the morning you will understand That you've been touched by the goodnight man. I'll rock you gently like a rolling wave Hold you in my arms until you drift away So just lay back and leave the rest to me.
