Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true Just lay back in my arms for one more night I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes Saying this one's the love of our lives 'Cause I know a love that will never grow old And I know a love that will never grow old When you wake up the world may have changed But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night And your laughter's like wind in my sails 'Cause I know a love that will never grow old And I know a love that will never grow old Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long Who cares where we go on this rutted old road In a world that may say that we're wrong 'Cause I know a love that will never grow old And I know a love that will never grow old

Let me tell you something! Daddy. Once I was away far far from my home, Didn't know how to come back home. And one night as I got up, I could see clearly, that, There was nowhere in sight. I could see my ma and pa, Coming to look for me, But it was just a dream. And I decided in my mind to go home, And I started across my bridge, And towards my door. I met a girl, who's named Jean She says "Toots, you know I got, To give you a new name, Before you leave this place." I asked her: "why?" She says: "Just because you look to be very great." "That's why I'm going to call you Mr.?????" That's my new name.
