The night is dark and deep,
The sleep has arrived at the
doorstep with a lantern,
But, i won't sleep.

The dreams may be long and sweet,
the bed may soft and cozy,
But, i won't sleep.

The moon may fall,
The sunshine may call,
But, i won't sleep.

I know, i'm sweating
I know, i'm tired
But, i won't sleep.

The rain is pouring down,
And pokily might the storm
lash and go,
But, i won't sleep.
For if i sleep,
Who will wake me up?
