Verse 1 Close your eyes, the stars are peekin’ Moon is high, the world is sleepin’ Lay your head and don’t you cry Chorus Driftin’ off to dreamland, ridin’ on a breeze Where the cotton clouds are pillows and the trees all sing with ease Let the night just hold you, gentle as can be Driftin’ off to dreamland, safe as safe can be Verse 2 Teddy’s waitin’, tucked in tight Fireflies dancin’ soft tonight The crickets hum a lullaby While angels watch from up on high Chorus Driftin’ off to dreamland, ridin’ on a breeze Where the cotton clouds are pillows and the trees all sing with ease Let the night just hold you, gentle as can be Driftin’ off to dreamland, safe as safe can be Outro Sleep now, darlin’, don’t you fear Love is all around you here Tomorrow waits with skies so blue But tonight, the stars shine just for you
