Go to sleep now little dreamer 'Cos waking is done And there'll be dreams there for the taking Now the waking is done They'll be brighter than a pot o' gold And sweeter than a honeycomb Go to sleep now little dreamer, the waking day is done Go to sleep now little dreamer, It's resting time There'll be rest there for the sleepers If you close your little eyes There'll be open seas and sandy shores Cedar trees and sycamores Go to sleep now little dreamer It's waking time no more Both rising in the city once There'll be rest enough for the dreamer now the day is done Slowly come the morning light Stars give way to oceans Sleep now little dreamer, the waking day is done Go to sleep now little dreamer, It's growing dark And as you rest there with the sleepers Know that dreamers play their part They're a pair of wings on a ball and chain A bourbon coat in the pouring rain Go to sleep now little dreamer The dark is here again Both rising in the city once We'll be rested enough for the dreamer Now the day is done Slowly come the morning light Stars give way to oceans Sleep now little dreamer, the waking day is done Sleep now little dreamer, the waking day is done
