lyrics

Go to sleep, little man
Go to sleep while you can
For the cares of the world
Pull you by the hand
Make you stand, little man
Make you walk, little man
Make you run and run ‘til you understand

How can a bird
Defy a vine?
How does the glass
Empty all the wine?
How do you smile when you wanna cry?
That smile is always the sweetest

In the early fog
Of morning light
All is calm and still
There's no need to fight
There are no more tears to cry tonight
So let’s sleep on it together

Well, my mind wanders on
To another time
A time when I was yours
A time when you were mine
Life was sweet
Life was kind
Let’s dream of that time together

Go to sleep, little man
Go to sleep while you can
For the cares of the world
Pull you by the hand
Make you stand, little man
Make you walk, little man
Make you run and run ‘til you understand
Make you run and run ‘til you understand
