Counting Sheep

(collin raye/john hobbs)

The cool cat knows when it's time to relax
And get some rest
And that cool cat likes to unwind inhis room

Trees are for climbing
And holes are for digging
And friends are for when your having fun
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
Dogs are for hugging
And cats are for putting up with
Birds are just looking at
And heads are for when you have to wear a hat
Dads are for being with
And doing things
And helping out mom
And moms are for talking to
And telling things that you can't tell anyone
Ears are for hearing your father call
And eyes are for seeing when it's dark
Legs are for when you have to run
And hearts are for when you want to love someone
Brothers always take your things
And break your things
And eat your candy
And sisters always tell on you
And they cry a lot
When they got no reason to
Feet are for putting your shoes on
And hair is for looking nice at school
And hands are for folding when your book is done
And hearts are for when you want to love someone

Lay your head on your pillow now
Close your eyes
I'll tuck you in and i'll kiss you goodnight
While you and your teddy bear are countin' sheep
Next thing you know, you'll be fast asleep
Sleep now my angle your long day is done
The very best part of the night has begun
Cause we get a present when we go to sleep
We get to dream
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
Life's an adventure there's so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
You can go walkin' on peppermint clouds
And see yourself being' a real circus clown
Sail on a river of strawberry cream
Be a star or an astronaut, follow your dream
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
Life's an adventure there's so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
Life's an adventure there's so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true
Dream on...dream my love
A dream is a whisper from above
If you have a dream your dream can come true
A whole world of wonder is waiting for you
Life's an adventure there's so much to do
If you have a dream your dream can come true

I know you're listening as i lay me down to sleep
It's not for me i ask, but my children's souls to keep
It seems the world is going crazy
And though i need to do my share
Could you please take them under wing
Watch over them especially
Keeping them safe from everything
This is a mother's prayer
I know you're listening in the silence of the night
The news is blistering but i hold on to your light
And though there's darkness all around us
By my faith i know you're there
Give me the strength to lead the way
Send me the words i need to say
Use me to guide them day to day
This is a mother's prayer
This is a father's prayer
I know i can't do this by my self
I thank you for your help
I know you're listening so i know i'm not alone
I feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown
Could you return us to your garden
Where no one's hurt and no one's scared
Free us from pride and bitterness
Keep us so close we won't forget
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother's prayer
This is a father's prayer
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother's, a father's prayer

Hey baby doll, hey sweet potato
I love you now and i love you later
I'm gonna love you for your whole life through
Hey jelly bean, hey belly button
You ain't gonna have to worry
