Sleep tonight 'Til the morning light Oh baby sleep tonight It's gonna be alright I'll be there when you learn to crawl And when you're walking like a wind up doll Sweet girl of mine I'll be with you on your first day of school And in the summer when you pee in the pool Sweet girl of mine Sleep tonight 'Til the morning light I'm gonna hate it when you have your first date Good or bad there ain't no way I'm gonna like him Sweet girl of mine And when you're twenty one I'll buy your first beer Sit, look back and laugh at all those years with you Sweet girl of mine Sleep tonight 'Til the morning light When you're 40 I'll be crippled and old But don't you put me in a nursing home, oh no Sweet girl of mine Sleep tonight 'Til the morning light Oh baby sleep tonight It's gonna be alright
