Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. Sandman
Close your eyes my sleepy head
Hug your bear so tight
All of your fears will soon disappear
As your red balloon takes flight
As you soar above the clouds in the moonlight
Make sure you don't look down
Feeling dizzy losing your balance
Frightened that you'll take a fall
Simply reach out with your tiny hand and call
Sandman sandman please to take me away
Faster faster I want to run away
Fly me I don't care where
Just promise you won't turn ‘round
Sandman sandman help me disappear
Hurry hurry ‘for anyone can hear
Soon they'll come to find out
That one of their own's escaped
I'm in love with her
‘til the early morning light does shine in the room
I will be the one
Who will lay his life down for his girl
And the blues of the world
Sandman sandman show me what's in store
Careful careful what you're wishing for
They're all marching in time
To tempos of crippled legs
Sandman sandman take me towards the light
Faster father we're running out of time
Judgment Day's now at hand
And I haven't a thing to wear
I'm in love with her
‘til the early morning light does shine in the room
I will be the one
Who will lay his life down for his girl
And the blues of the world
