Sleeping

The laptop computers, the phones and TVs
Are closing their eyes and falling asleep
And all the machines in the world have stopped beeping
They’re sleeping, sleeping, sleeping

The great crane, the A train, the taxi cab too
Are sleeping, sleeping beneath the full moon
You won’t even hear the street sweeper sweeping
He’s sleeping, sleeping, sleeping

And under the sidewalks of fifth avenue
The wires are singing of dreams coming true
And one of these dreams may be looking for you

And everyone loves you beautiful child
All night we dream of you with a snore and a smile
Skyscraper hands have your heart in safe keeping
While you’re sleeping, sleeping, sleeping,
sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping!
