Lyrics
- Now I lay me down to rest and sleep
Weary and blue
Wond’ring Mister Sandman
Just where you can be
Like a little baby counting sheep
I wait for you
Hoping that you’ll have a dream for me
Chorus
Sandman, wrap me up in a silver cloud
And blow me home
Sandman, lay me down in that peaceful town
No more to roam
For when I hide my face
Deep in that pillow case
Then I’ll reach the end of my wild goose chase
Oh, Sandman, wrap me up in a silver cloud
And blow me home
- I’m so happy when the shadows creep
And I can say
Hurry Mister Sandman
Throw your sand at me
Close my sleepy eyes in slumber deep
At close of day
Take me to the place I want to see
