Lyrics
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
How we love to sleep
At the close of the day
When the joys of the day fade away
And the mem’ries sweet
Of the day repeat
In our dreams they creep
While we sleep, sleep, sleep
It seems that daytime was just made
For laughter and song
Eve’ning brings romance to lovers
As they stroll along
Nighttime brings rest to the weary
Sooths all the hearts that are dreary
Leaves us alone with our day dreams
Brings back sweet golden love dreams
While we
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
How we love to sleep
At the close of the day
When the joys of the day fade away
And the mem’ries sweet
Of the day repeat
In our dreams they creep
While we sleep, sleep, sleep
