I'm so sleepy, I'm so sleepy;
Tuck me in and sing me a lullaby.
Hold me in your arms
and rock me back and forth.
I need you to blow on my head
as we huddle together on this bed.
"Look at the stars and moon,"
you said as the moonlight streamed into my room.
"We'll escape at least for tonight,
before they bring us tomorrow's fright."
I whimpered at the thought
and snuggled closer to you.
You're my favorite planet
and you're all I need.
So come closer and comfort me.
I need a night's worth of luxury
before I wake up at dawn
with a heavy realization that you're long gone.
