His hands are small
They settle down
To rest upon his lap
His mind's at ease
He breathes night air
There's nothing much to see
And I like watching him
Fighting to stay awake at night

His eyes they close
For just a wink
His head drifts slowly south
Sleep descends
In the still night air
But he won't give it peace
And I like watching him
Fighting to stay awake at night

He holds his own
For quite some time
But can't avoid the end
The crickets sing
His lullaby
The wind picks up his dreams
It's all that I need tonight
It's all that and everything to me
