Lullaby
   Greg Brown

I look at you, and I think of bed,
You move so cool and freely,
And I know what's goin' on in your head,
Oh, babe, you make me sleepy
.
We've been married all these years,
We know each other deeply
And oh my dear, oh my dear,
You still make me sleepy.

The children, they are nearly grown,
And ain't they turned out sweetly,
They're out tonight, and we're alone,
And, oh babe, you make me sleepy.

I know your stories, you know mine,
Ah, but tell that one again to me,
About that walk in the wet, wet woods and the red, red wine,
Oh, babe, it makes me sleepy.

You make me feel like lying down,
Let down your hair completely,
When you pull on that pitiful old raggedy-ass cotton nightgown,
Oh, babe, you make me sleepy.

Since we first met and I gave you that twirl
I know nothing can defeat me
Not as long as you're my girl
Oh, babe, you make me sleepy.

And in your arms I sleep so fine,
So well do you meet me,
And you can wake me any time,
Oh, babe, I ain't that sleepy.

I look at you and I think of bed.
