And you'll have sweet dreams that will last all night
An easy feelin' in the mornin' light
Drift away with a touch of the hand
From the sleep tight, goodnight man
And you'll have sweet dreams that will last all night
An easy feelin' in the mornin' light
Drift away with a touch of the hand
From the sleep tight, goodnight man

Drift away with a touch of the hand
From the sleep tight, goodnight man
And you'll have
