Ooooooooh-oooh-wah-aah
Sweet dreams, my love
Angels watching from above
While the Sandman fills your eyes
With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
Listen to the little dove
Singing you a lullaby
Sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
While the stars are glowing
Like candles in the blue
Close your eyes, my darling
I will dream of you, my darling
Sweet dreams, my love
Angels watching from above
While the Sandman fills your eyes
With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
While the stars are glowing
Like candles in the blue
Close your eyes, my darling
I will dream of you, my darling
Sweet dreams, my love
Angels watching from above
While the Sandman fills your eyes
With sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
Sweet dreams, my love and goodnight
Wooh-oooh-oooh

I was in the backroads of a small town in Tennessee, and I'm from Chicago and I heard this. I AM a servant of God; He put me in the right place at the very right time... maybe the point of my story is when God sends help, just listen and obey. Be well... Kind regards, Chandra
