Oh sleepy
Oh sleepy
Won't you kneel beside me
Tell me there's a rhythm to these days
Oh sleepy
Oh sleepy
Won't you lay beside me
Hold me like the river holds a babe
And maybe
Just maybe
I'll stretch your name like taffy
Tight around your finger
With no cause for any ring
Oh baby
Oh baby
It's good to hear you laughing
Bout the silly things that we do sing
Oh sleepy
Oh sleepy
Let me kneel beside you
Tell me there's a rhythm to these days
Oh sleepy
Oh sleepy
Let me lay beside you
Hold me like the river
Holds a bay
Go to sleep
I'll go to sleep
Giving sleepy head
I'll go to sleep
Getting sleepy head
I'll go to sleep
Giving sleepy head
