My eyelids are getting very heavy
My will to stay away
is getting weak
As I lay here tonight
Mama's turning out the light
I know that there is
so much more to see
If I close my eyes I know that
I'll be missing something
A shooting star
or something good on the TV
Daddy don't be mad
if you hear me crying
I'm only trying not to fall asleep
Whatever's going on
outside my window
I'm not tall enough to
look out there and see
When things go bump in the night
and I'm terrified from fight
I thank God that I have
Teddy lying next to me
If I close my eyes I know that
I'll be missing something
A shooting star or
something good on the TV
Daddy don't be mad
if you hear me crying
I'm only trying not to fall asleep
If I close my eyes I know that
I'll be missing something
A shooting star or
something good on the TV
Daddy don't be mad
if you hear me crying
I'm only trying not to fall
I'm just trying not to fall
I'm just trying not to fall asleep
