Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems  

One of the Family

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1958 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1986.

Sleep's a-coming, say hello,
Lay your head on his shoulder-o.
He will rock you soft and fine,
Sleep is a friend of mine.

Sleep, sleep is a friend of mine,
One of the family,
Brings the stars and makes them shine,
Blows the wind in the tree.

Sleep's a-coming, say hello,
Lay your head on his shoulder-o,
In his pocket you will find
Dreams of a wonderful kind.
