Close your eyes, youÂ’ve got a long day cominÂ’
Your mama will be callinÂ’, that old rooster will crow
Close your eyes, youÂ’ve got a long day cominÂ’
You should have been sleepinÂ’ a long time ago

There are certain things in life
That do not go the way we plan them
There are mysteries to Love
YouÂ’re too young to understand them

These are not tears
Just smoke in my eyes
Smoke from the bridges
IÂ’m burning tonight

Close your eyes, youÂ’ve got a long day cominÂ’
Your mama will be callinÂ’, that old rooster will crow
Close your eyes, youÂ’ve got a long day cominÂ’
You should have been sleepinÂ’ a long time ago

Guess itÂ’s time to say goodnight
IÂ’ve sung you every song I know
Let me stand and watch you dream
One more time before I go

Tomorrow youÂ’ll wake
And youÂ’ll wonder why
ThereÂ’s so many miles
Between you and I

Close your eyes, youÂ’ve got a long day cominÂ’
Your mama will be callinÂ’, that old rooster will crow
Close your eyes, youÂ’ve got a long day cominÂ’
You should have been sleepinÂ’ a long time ago

Close your eyes, youÂ’ve got a long day cominÂ’
You should have been sleepinÂ’ a long time ago
