I've been holding you in my arms
It's really late, and you're not sleeping
I made you a lullaby, here it is
Tomorrow the daylight will be here
And the birds will sing their joy
Your golden eyelids will open
To the sun and its song
Close your eyes, it's wonderful
All the fairies will come wake you
Go to sleep, why aren't you sleeping
Tomorrow I gotta get up early
I've got a super important meeting
Be tired and sleep now
You were downing your bottle for a micro-nap
It was comfy, I really recharged
Tomorrow the daylight will be here
And the birds will sing their joy
Your golden eyelids will open
To the sun and its song
Close your eyes, it's wonderful
F*ck, why aren't you sleeping
What you're laughing at
That you think are parachutes
Are my eyelids, my child
It's hard being an adult
We lay our cards on the table
If you fall asleep I'll buy you a cellphone
If you fall asleep right now
Your eyelids are heavy
A warm sensation numbs your body
You hear nothing but my voice
Why don't you want to sleep
I'd give you a sleeping pill
But there's none left, ask your mom
Since you leave me no choice
Here's the time for threats
If you don't sleep, I'll put you in care
But it looks like it's working
You close your eyes, you're so good
I got mad, my love
I'm gonna play you some trumpet
