10cc/Destiny's Child Lyrics

Listen while I sing you to sleep
Allow me to sing you a lullaby to help you fall asleep

With a rock 'n' roll lullaby
I will sing you a melodic, rhythmic lullaby that features elements of rock 'n' roll music

Close your eyes and don't you peep
Keep your eyes closed and don't take a peek at anything around you

This is a rock 'n' roll lullaby
The song I am singing is a unique kind of lullaby, infused with the energy and style of rock 'n' roll music

Sandman's gonna get you
The mythical figure known as the Sandman is coming to help you fall asleep

Snuggle down your sleepy head
Get comfortable and cozy so that you can easily drift off to sleep

It's gettin' late the Sandman said
The Sandman is telling you that it is time to go to bed because it is getting late

Your dreams are waiting
While you sleep, you can enter a dream world where all sorts of things can happen

It's daybreak in the land of nod
While you are sleeping, it will feel like morning has come in the world of dreams

So get to sleep you little sod
Go to bed, you rascal, and don't stay up too late

And if you get a nightmare
If you have a bad dream that scares you while you sleep

Would you go and shake your Ma
Will you wake up your mother because you're frightened?

Cause your Daddy's been a workin' all day
Your father has been working hard all day and needs his rest

And if you go and get a glass of water by yourself
If you are thirsty and go to get a glass of water on your own

You can show us that you're older than you are
By fetching water for yourself, you can demonstrate some independence and maturity

Show us that you're older
Demonstrate that you're becoming more grown up and self-sufficient

Well you're too small to understand
You're too young to fully comprehend the complexities of the world

You're living in a wonderland
You're still experiencing the magic and mystery of childhood

If only we could be there too
We wish we could experience the same childlike wonder with you

And dream a dream along with you
Join you in a dream world where anything can happen

Careful that you don't get out the wrong side of the cot
Be careful when you wake up so that you don't fall out of bed or start your day on the wrong foot

Are you gonna be an angel or a devil
Will you be well behaved and virtuous or mischievous and naughty?

You're too small to reason what is right and what is wrong
You haven't yet developed the mental capacity to fully understand moral concepts

Childhood dreams are gone too fast
The magical time of childhood passes by too quickly

There's no way we can make them last
There's no way to extend the period of childhood or prevent it from slipping away

We'll always love you anyway
Regardless of how quickly you grow up, we will always love you and cherish the memories of your childhood

Any way you are
We love you just the way you are

Any way you are
We love you just the way you are
