forty winks away

i just can't wait to fall asleep

i can't wait for night each day

'cause when the lights are low

no matter where you go

you're only 40 winks away

away. no matter how far you may be

believe me darling when i say

the oceans in between

i cross them on a dream

'cause you're just 40 winks away

away. there's a land of enchantment

just beyond my pillowcase

and i go there 'cause i know there

i'll be in your sweet embrace. so till you come back home again

until you're in my arms to stay

it's kinda nice to know

i turn the lights down low

and you're just 40 winks away

away

away.
