Ricky Nelson - Sleep Tight, Goodnight Man lyrics

rate me

(J. Silber / S. Lorber)

The sandman told me he's done all he can

The situation needs a brand new plan

You've been cryin' all night long

Tossin' and turnin', it's almost dawn.

So here I am, I'll help you if I can

Count on me, just take my hand

Close your eyes, leave the rest to me.

And you'll have

Sweet dreams that'll last all night

An easy feeling in the mornin' light

Drift away with the touch of my hand

I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man.

Soft an' soothin' like a lullaby

I'll kiss the tears from your weary eyes

In the mornin' you will understand

You've been touched by the goodnight man.

I'll rock you gently like a rollin' wave

Hold you in my arms untill you drift away

Just lay back, and leave the rest to me

And you'll have

Sweet dreams that'll last all night

An easy feeling in the mornin' light

Drift away with the touch of my hand

I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man.

I'll rock you gently like a rollin' wave

Hold you in my arms untill you drift away

Just lay back, and leave the rest to me

And you'll have

Sweet dreams that'll last all night

An easy feeling in the mornin' light

Drift away with the touch of my hand

I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man.

Your sleep tight, goodnight man

I'm your sleep tight, goodnight man...
