Sail away, little paper boat
On the river of sleep, afloat
Close your eyes, my sleepy head
Snuggled warm in your cozy bed
The water is quiet and deep
We’re drifting slowly to sleep
Softly, softly we go
Where the dream-flowers grow
Sail, sail, little boat
On the clouds we float
Underneath the starry sky
Singing a sweet lullaby
Sleep, sleep, drift away
Until the break of day
The stars are hanging like tiny lights
Guiding us through the quiet nights
The wind is whispering in your ear
"I am holding you, my dear"
The water is quiet and deep
We’re drifting slowly to sleep
Softly, softly we go
Where the dream-flowers grow
Sail, sail, little boat
On the clouds we float
Underneath the starry sky
Singing a sweet lullaby
Sleep, sleep, drift away
Until the break of day
Mm, mm, let the tide roll
Mm, mm, peace in your soul
Soft as the water, warm as the sun
Now the busy day is done
Sail, sail, little boat
On the clouds we float
Underneath the starry sky
Singing a sweet lullaby
Sleep, sleep, drift away
Until the break of day
Sail away...
Float away...
Goodnight.
