SWEET DREAMS

Lyrics and music by Winston Apple
For those about to be rocked, we salute you

You're so tired
You're doing everything you can to stay awake
Why are you trying so hard to fight it?
We both know you need some sleep
Oh, Baby, I'm here for you
I will sing to you until you're fast asleep
And if you want me to - I will, I will rock you

I've got a chair that rocks and I know how to use it

So kick back, relax
Listen to the song I'm singing
You've had a busy, busy day
Now you're gonna have some sweet, sweet dreams

Dream about tomorrow
It's gonna be a wonderful day
You're gonna play with all of your favorite toys
Take a break for a snack and then play some more

You can have a play date with some of your friends
Play hide and seek, play peek-a-boo
You've got books to read and 'til you learn to read
You've got Mommy and Daddy to read them to you

Sweet dreams
Close your eyes and drift away to Dreamland
While you catch up on your sleep, enjoy your sweet, sweet dreams

You don't have a job to go to
There's no alarm clock by your bed to wake you up
You can sleep until you wake up on your own
And when you wake up....

You can play all day
If the weather's nice, you can play outside
But, even if it's cold or stormy, you can play all day, all day, all day

You've got no particular place to go
No chores to do (for a few more years)
Except for dangerous or destructive behavior,
You can do pretty much whatever you want to do
(Consistent with your age and level of development)

Oh what a wonderful life
Dream about it
Close your eyes
Sleep will come, bringing you sweet dreams, sweet dreams, sweet, sweet dreams

Good night.  Sleep tight.  Sweet dreams.
