Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Go to sleep now, my darling
There's a Sandman
Old and white
Bringing happy dreams to you
Tattle Tail
Go to sleep
Til the quiet night passes
You are safe in my arms
In my arms all night through
Now the moon
Riding high
Turns the shadow to silver
And the night winds with a sigh
Whisper soft across the hill
It's a bright, enchanted land
Where the unicorn dances
Til the stars disappear
And the whole world is still
