Now I lay me down to sleep
The words I used to say
But instead I counted sheep
Until the break of day
Counted sheep and weary-eyed
Counted all the dreams denied
Oh the countless times I cried
I’m lonesome
Now I lay my dream away
For I need dream no more
Here you are, and here to stay
Is all I hungered for
Once I tossed the whole night through

Now I lay me down to sleep
And do
The words I used to say
But instead I counted sheep
Until the break of day
Counted sheep and weary-eyed
Counted all the dreams denied
Oh the countless times I cried
I’m lonesome
Now I lay my dream away
For I need dream no more
Here you are, and here to stay
Is all I hungered for
Once I tossed the whole night through
But, my darling, thanks to you
Now I lay me down to sleep
And do
