GOODNIGHT SLEEPYHEAD
Hiller / Lee / Sheriden

as rec by Johnnie Ray  1976


The day is almost done
And we've had lots of fun,
It's time to pack away your toys,
Your soldiers and your drum.


The night is drawing near
but there's no need to fear,
'Cause daddy's never far away
And mommy's always near.


So goodnight sleepyhead, (goodnight sleepyhead)
Climb the stairs, it's time for bed.
Sleep tight, little one, (Sleep tight, little one)
Blow a kiss to everyone.
Climb into bed,
You sleepyhead,
Goodnight!


Goodnight angel eyes, (goodnight angel eyes)
You bring us joy and sweet surprise!
You bring happiness, (You bring happiness)
Warmth and love and tenderness.
Time for bed,
You sleepyhead,
Goodnight!


Now don't you hide away,
There's no games left to play!
The friendly night is close at hand,
So join his happy band
Of children everywhere,
Whose parents love and care,
So close your eyes and go to sleep,
Don't forget your prayers!


So goodnight sleepyhead, (goodnight sleepyhead)
Climb the stairs, it's time for bed.
Sleep tight, little one, (Sleep tight, little one)
Blow a kiss to everyone.
Climb into bed,
You sleepyhead,
Goodnight!


Goodnight angel eyes, (goodnight angel eyes)
You bring us joy and sweet surprise!
You bring happiness, (You bring happiness)
Warmth and love and tenderness.
Time for bed,
You sleepyhead,
Goodnight!
Time for bed,
You sleepyhead,
Goodnight!
(goodnight sleepyhead)
(goodnight sleepyhead)
(goodnight sleepyhead)
(goodnight sleepyhead...)
