[Verse 1]
Baby, when you gotta sleep, lay your head down low
Don't let the world lay heavy on your soul
'Cause when you gotta sleep, you gotta sleep

[Chorus]
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
'Cause I love you
Love you
Love you

[Verse 2]
Baby, if you lose your love, don't take me by surprise
Don't think you're crying, but there's teardrops in your eyes
If you gotta leave, you gotta leave

[Chorus]
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
'Cause I love you
Love you
Love you
[Verse 3]
Babe, you know you gotta be and let your light shine through
And don't let anybody tell you what to do
'Cause babe, you gotta be, you gotta be

[Chorus]
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
'Cause I love you
Love you
Love you

[Outro]
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
Lay your sweet hand on me
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
