Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. - Sandman lyrics

Close your eyes my sleepy head Hug your bear so tight All of your fears will soon disappear As your red balloon takes flight As you soar above the clouds in the moonlight Make sure you don't look down Feeling dizzy losing your balance Frightened that you'll take a fall Simply reach out with your tiny hand and call Sandman sandman please to take me away Faster faster I want to run away Fly me I don't care where Just promise you won't turn ‘round Sandman sandman help me disappear Hurry hurry ‘for anyone can hear Soon they'll come to find out That one of their own's escaped I'm in love with her ‘til the early morning light does shine in the room I will be the one Who will lay his life down for his girl And the blues of the world Sandman sandman show me what's in store Careful careful what you're wishing for They're all marching in time To tempos of crippled legs Sandman sandman take me towards the light Faster father we're running out of time Judgment Day's now at hand And I haven't a thing to wear I'm in love with her ‘til the early morning light does shine in the room I will be the one Who will lay his life down for his girl And the blues of the world
