Enter Sandman Lyrics

[Verse 1: Audra Miller, Daria Zaritskaya]
Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
'Til the Sandman, he comes


[Pre-Chorus: Audra Miller & Daria Zaritskaya]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

[Chorus: Audra Miller, Daria Zaritskaya]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

[Verse 2: Audra Miller, Daria Zaritskaya]
Something's wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White

Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons' fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Audra Miller & Daria Zaritskaya]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus: Audra Miller, Daria Zaritskaya]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Audra Miller, Daria Zaritskaya]
Now, I lay me down to sleep
Now, I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head


[Chorus: Audra Miller, Daria Zaritskaya, both]
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand

We're off to never-never land
[Outro: Audra Miller, Daria Zaritskaya]
Oh!
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
