My sweet child, lay your head down
Dream the dreams that delight you
You're safe now and forever
Don't let reality blind you
My sweet child, taste the starlight
Reach your hands up to heaven
Cherish all you've been giving
There's nothing to fear
Soon the day will appear
There's nothing to say
Just as long as you pray
[Chorus]
It's in the eyes of the Candy Man
He owns the dark
It's in the eyes of the Candy Man
He owns the dark
May the night never find you
With a heart full of sorrow
You can close your tired eyes
Dream your dreams of tomorrow
There's nothing to fear
Soon the day will appear
Here comes the daylight
There's nothing to say
Just as long as you pray
Don't be afraid
[Chorus]
We're living in a cruel world, cruel world
Living in a cruel world, cruel world
Living in a cold dark space were we hide our face
We're living in a cruel world, cruel world
Living in a cruel world, cruel world
Don't be afraid
[Chorus]
Go to sleep
Close your eyes
