The Sandman Lying alone in my bed Thoughts running ‘round in my head My eyes are weighted down with lead The sandman is coming too soon Can’t get you out of my mind I treated you so unkind I know I’m yours and hope you’re mine The sandman is coming too soon It’s not the first time this has happened It’s not the first time that I’ve cried Won’t be too long before you leave me girl But my heart will heal itself in time Sleep fills the tears in my eyes I think you’ll soon realize We’re running out of alibies The sandman is coming too soon It’s not the first time this has happened It’s not the first time that I’ve cried Won’t be too long before you leave me girl But my heart will heal itself in time Sleep fills the tears in my eyes I think you’ll soon realize We’re running out of alibies The sandman is coming too soon Too soon, Oo Ooo © 1970, Will Fiala
