As you fall asleep tonight
Slow yet surely,
Gone with the fading light
May all your worries be.
Waiting just for you
Is the lone Land of the Nod,
Silence, besides you
Is the only one to trod –
Upon the winding roads
Adorned with sweetest dreams,
Bedecked with gurgling streams
Of the Land of the Nod.
Let sleep hynotise you
In her cradle, for you, brought;
Shed away all wordly thought
Tonight will be just for you.
So sleep upon fluffy clouds
Frolic amidst brightest stars,
Chase your dreams wherever they go
And, of them, never let go.
Let no worry, no frown ever dare
Touch your face, nor for them, ever care;
So my beloved friend, sleep tight
Only for you, is tonight.
