When you're so lonely lying in bed   Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head   Everyone's sleeping all through the house   You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow      Sing this lullaby to yourself   Sing this lullaby to yourself      And if you are waiting, waiting for me   Know I'll be home soon, darling, I guarantee   I'll be home Sunday, just in one week   Dry up your tears if you start to weep      And sing this lullaby to yourself   Sing this lullaby to yourself      Lullaby, I'm not nearby   Sing this lullaby to yourself   Don't you cry, no, don't you cry   Sing this lullaby to yourself      'Cause when I arrive, dear, it won't be that long   No, it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone   It ain't the first time, it won't be the last   Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?      So, when you're so lonely, lying in bed   Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head   Everyone's sleeping all through the house   You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow      Sing this lullaby to yourself   Sing this lullaby to yourself   Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby   Sing this lullaby to yourself
