Soon when summer starts to fall
Children start to walk along
They're casting shadows on tomorrow's day

We are taller than our eyes can see
You are smaller than you used to be
How small?
Smaller than the smallest blade of grass
Why don't you close your eyes

We're leaving
Carry all you want to keep
Children it is time to go to sleep
Why don't you be good children
Close your eyes
Why don't you be good children
Close your eyes

How tall?
Why don't you close your eyes
How small?
Why don't you close your eyes

How tall?
Taller than we used to be
How small?
Smaller than you used to be
Why don't you be good children
Close your eyes
