lyrics

mama tucks you into bed, you say your evening prayers
and then you count your sheep
not knowing that the outside world
has planned a party for while you’re asleep.

stray dogs have brought the drinks, stray cats are playing cards
and the owls are singing songs.
the dancing won’t start till after you’re asleep,
so please don’t take too long.

sunset, moonrise
and the creatures wake.
you dream, wolves dance
and the bushes shake.

wild things wake up in the forest while you sleep.
trees and animals have secrets that they keep.
you thought everything was sleeping in the dark,
but birds and maples trees are dancing in the park.
