Sleep

 

I sit and dream by the starlight
Make all my plans and know I'll be right
I'll write them down with a crayon in my head
When morning comes I'll go to bed

With a couple little friends I won't be blue
Sleep all the day and half the night through
If I had more time I'd be a millionaire
Instead I'll go to sleep and I won't care
Sleep all the day is the way to forget what they say

I had many men but they're gone now
I'd like to call them back, I even know how
But I can't call them now; their love for me will keep
It's too late at night; they're sound asleep

I sit and dream by the starlight
Make all my plans and know I'll be right
I'll write them down with a crayon in my head
When morning comes I'll go to bed
