Sleepy Children Lyrics

Soft cotton pillows, filled with down
Cradle a sleepy head
Cuddle up under an Eiderdown
In a warm and cozy bed

Soft, toasty beds on a frosty night
Hot chocolate and tea by the fire
Long white candles dripping with wax
The moon says its time to retire

Chart a course in a wooden ship
To the sleepy seas of rhye
With girls and boys and your favorite toys
We'll be there by and by
Tomorrow will be here and so until then
Please go to sleep all you sleepy children
The moon's a balloon where your dreams are tied on
Please sleepy children don't keep the light on
Soft cotton pillows, stuffed with down
Cradle a sleepy head
Cuddle up under an Eiderdown
In a warm and sheltered bed
Chart a course in a wooden ship
To the sleepy seas of rhye
With girls and boys and your favorite toys
We'll be there by and by
Tomorrow will be here and so until then
Please go to sleep all you sleepy children
The moon's a balloon for your dreams to ride on
Please sleepy children don't keep the light on
Tomorrow will be here and so until then
Please go to sleep all you sleepy children
The moon's a balloon where your dreams are tied on
Please sleepy children don't keep the light on

You Better Love Somebody

Soft cotton pillows, filled with down
Cradle a sleepy head
Cuddle up under an Eiderdown
In a warm and cozy bed

Soft, toasty beds on a frosty night
Hot chocolate and tea by the fire
Long white candles dripping with wax
The moon says its time to retire

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
