Bobby Bare - Sleep Tight, Good Night Man Lyrics

 

The sandman told me he's done all he can

The situation calls for more than sand

You been cryin' all night long

Tossin' and turnin' and it's almost dawn

I am here I'm gonna help you sleep

Count on me instead of countin' sheep

Close your eyes and leave the rest of me.

You'll have sweet dreams that'll last all night

And easy feeling in the morning light

Drift away with the touch of the hand

From the sleep tight goodnight man.

Soft and soothing as a lullaby

I'll kiss the tears from those weary eyes

And in the morning you will understand

You've been touched by the goodnight man

I'll rock you gently like a rolling wave

Hold you in my arms till you drift away

Just lay back and leave the rest to me.

You'll have sweet dreams that'll last all night

And easy feeling in the morning light

Drift away with the touch of the hand

From the sleep tight goodnight man.

You'll have sweet dreams that'll last all night

And easy feeling in the morning light

Drift away with the touch of the hand

From the sleep tight goodnight man.

You'll have sweet dreams that'll last all night

And easy feeling in the morning light

Drift away with the touch of the hand

From the sleep tight goodnight man..
