What's you're doing out in the night time Why'd you call me on the phone Your mama can't solve your problem When's daddy ever get home So you did your little move In the middle of the suicide Don't close your eyes Don't close your eyes Don't sing your last lullaby No one there to hold you No one hears you screams You live life up and down now Your nightmares are your dreams Another lonely way of hanging round Don't you take it falling down no no Hold on hold on tight I'll make everything all right Wake up don't go asleep I'll pray the lord Your soul to keep Don't close your eyes Don't close your eyes Don't sing your last lullaby Don't close your eyes Don't close your eyes Don't sing your last lullaby
