Tom Paxton Dream On Sweet Dreamer
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
