about

This is a song about kids who don't want to go to sleep. It's written by a mother to her darling daughter who thinks that being awake is much more interesting than going to sleep. The incomparable Anthony Green contributed vocals to this track.

lyrics

We had such a great time today
we played outside
and saw some of your friends around town
then talked to Papa Willy & Meme on the telephone

We’ll have such a great time tomorrow
going to the park with your friends
then maybe we can go to the market
get some stuff for dinner and then go home

But now it’s time to say goodnight

CHORUS:
And I know you don’t want to go to sleep
But it’s time to close your eyes my darling
time to close your eyes my honey pie & dream

Oh I know you don’t want to go to sleep
But it’s time to close your eyes my darling
time to close your eyes my honey pie & dream

You’ll have so much fun when you’re dreaming
maybe you can go on a rocket
321 then blast off
on an intergalactic adventure into outerspace

Or maybe you could be a princess
living in a beautiful castle
Or be a knight fighting a dragon
saving all the villagers from a terrible fate

But now it’s time to say goodnight

CHORUS

The day was great
we had our fun
now we’ve said goodbye to our friend the sun

You’ve got your blanket
You’re all tucked in
it’s time to let the dreams begin

CHORUS X2

I know you don’t want to go to sleep (repeat until end)
