St. Judy's Comet Lyrics

Oo, little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is?
Well, the hour of your bedtime's long been past
And though I know you're fighting it
I can tell when you rub your eyes
You're fading fast, ohhh fading fast

Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet
Roll across the skies
And leave a spray of diamonds in it's wake?
I long to see St. Judy's Comet
Sparkle in your eyes when you awake
Oh, when you wake, wake

Little boy
Won't you lay your body down?
Little boy
Won't you close your weary eyes?
Ain't nothin' flashin' but the fireflies

Well, I sang it once, said I sang it twice
I'm going to sing it three times more
Gonna stay 'til your resistance
Is overcome
'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep
Well it makes your famous daddy look so dumb
Hm, he looks so dumb

Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet
Roll across the skies
And leave a spray of diamonds in it's wake?
I long to see St. Judy's Comet
Sparkle in your eyes when you awake
Oh, when you wake, wake

Little boy, little boy
Won't you lay your body down?
Little boy, little boy
Won't you close your weary eyes?
Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies

Oo, little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is?
Well, the hour of your bedtime's long been past
And though I know you're fighting it
I can tell when you rub your eyes
That you're fading fast, ooo fading fast

My dad used to sing me this song when I was little. Solid proof that I have been loved in my life, if you ask me :)
