Lullaby for Cloud 9
The New Orleans Bingo! Show Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I looked in your eyes
My ghost by your side
Your dreams on my tongue
My soul to be sung
A-bout you

(bells chime)
Oh, times soft and sweet
To where passion cheats
Here I hope and rue
The dawn comes to swoon
Over you

(bells chime)

So, sleep
Sleep
Sleep away the day
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep the robbers fade?
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream
And dream




And dream
And dream
