[Verse 1 ] The clock strikes ten, the stars come out to play My dad finds me playing at end of day "Time for bed," he says with a gentle smile I look at him and bargain for awhile [Chorus] "I know, I know!" I say with a loud cry The moon is out, taunting me with night "I know, I know!" but still I try to stall One more story, one more game, that's all [Verse 2] My toys are scattered 'round, adventures done Tomorrow waits with promises of fun Dad tucks me in to kiss my sleepy head And says "Sweet dreams, my love, now settle into bed" [Chorus] "I know, I know!" I whisper soft and low "The sandman's coming, off to sleep I go" "I know, I know!" my eyes begin to close Dreaming of the morning when sun fills the windows [Outro] "I know, I know," becomes our lullaby As daddy hums and I close my sleepy eyes Tomorrow brings another day to grow But now it's time for dreams, "I know, I know..."
