I wonder what you're dreaming 
While you're sleeping 
I'll never know, you'll never know
Now at last the world cannot come peeping 
Into the thoughts you call your own
You close your eyes and you're alone
You're in a world that' s bright and new 
And there is no one in it but you

Comfy and cozy
All the world is rosy
Ev'rybody loves you when you're asleep
 
Too late to start now 
Taking things apart now
Ev'rybody loves you when you're asleep

You forget your alphabet
When you've been counting sheep
Does my dreamer know troubles will keep 

Comfy and cozy
All the world is rosy
Ev'rybody loves you when you're asleep
