Dream on Sweet Dreamer - Tom Paxton

The moon’s on the rise

As your sleepy eyes are slipping and drifting away

And soon I suppose

Your eyes will close

At the end of a rumble-down, tumble-down day

So dream on sweet dreamer

Heaven your heart to keep

Dream on sweet dreamer

Dream on

Dream long

Dream deep

There’s a boat on the lake

Just a-waiting to take you bobbing and bouncing across

With your dreams there to guide you

And me right beside you

You can sail on forever and never get lost

So dream on sweet dreamer

Heaven your heart to keep

Dream on sweet dreamer

Dream on

Dream long

Dream deep

As you drift through the night

T’ward the dawn’s distant light

May your waters be calm

And your future be bright

And dream on sweet dreamer

Dream on

Dream long

Dream deep

Dream on

Dream long

Dream deep
