Enter Sandman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
'Til the sandman comes
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
[Verse 2]
Something's wrong, cut the light, heavy thoughts tonight
And they're not of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons' fire
And of things that will bite
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
'Til the sandman comes
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
[Verse 2]
Something's wrong, cut the light, heavy thoughts tonight
And they're not of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons' fire
And of things that will bite
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land, ha-ha
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
You know, I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't cry without you
I can't even cry without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
Now that's the truth
I'm finding it hard to do anything
Ha-ha-ha
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind those things you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet and in your head
[Outro]
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land, ha-ha
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
You know, I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't cry without you
I can't even cry without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
Now that's the truth
I'm finding it hard to do anything
Ha-ha-ha
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind those things you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet and in your head
[Outro]
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
