Story Behind The Song

This song was written based on my experiences and interactions with my children when they were small.

Song Description

describes child's feelings at three sleepy times: Daytime nap, falling asleep in the car, and bedtime.

Lyrics

I've had my lunch and my story, too.
I played with Snoopy
I'm feelin' droopy
I'm slowly sinkin' in Mama's lap.
I guess it's time to take my nap.

Oh Mama, please, take off my bib.
Lay me down now right in my crib.
I've got my very own thumb for suckin'
All I need is your gentle tuck-in
My diaper is fresh; my tummy is full
I feel the sandman startin' to pull
So sing me a song, a lullabye sweet
It?s time for me to go to sleep.

We've been out in the car all day.
The engine's hummin'
I feel it comin'
I'm drippin' drool on my car seat strap
I sure would like to take a nap.

Oh Daddy, please, don't stop the car
Keep on drivin'; let's go real far.
I'm sittin' quiet and I'm not screamin'
I just got in some really fine dreamin'
Don't run out of gas; just keep up the pace
I've got that angel look on my face.
So keep movin' on an hour or two
And I'll keep bein' good for you.

Bathtime's done and the sun is down
I was wired
but now I'm tired
A mommy cuddle would suit me fine
I know it must be my bedtime.

Oh Mommy, Daddy, time for my kiss
Something I just don't wanna miss
I fold my hands and we start our prayin'
It sure has been a wonderful day and
The light's goin' out; I'm fading fast
I want this cozy feeling to last
So tiptoe on out and don't make a peep.
It?s time for me to go to sleep.
It?s time for me to goooooooo?.to sleep.
