Van Dyke Parks
Turn Out the Light
Soon you will be sleeping
And you'll wake up in a dream
Close your eyes, it's time to go to sleep
Soon it will be morning
Time to start another day
But now it's time for you to go to sleep
So turn out the light, it's time to say goodnight
Turn out the light and hold each other tight
Don't be afraid to hold each other tight
Pull down the shades, it's time to say goodnight
I knew a man from Argentina and he could not sleep
He worried all day and night about this problem
You know he worried so hard, he worried so long
He worried so much he couldn't sleep
And a man who never sleeps can never have a dream
Oh, don't let this happen to you
Turn out the light, it's time to say goodnight
Turn out the light, hold each other
Don't be afraid, It's time to say goodnight
Pull down the shade
