Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles awake you when you rise Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Sweet, sweet life I'm living today Don't bring me down Don't go away Give me just one more chance To make you want to stay Yeah! Sweet, sweet, sweet life I'm living, I'm living today Don't bring me down, Don't go away Don't go away Please don't go away So tremble if you must For the dust is still breathing And the trees are just the leaves On a big breathing globe And there's life in the rocks And the seashells are listening To the sound of the sand As it slips on it's way
