Here comes the Sandman

Here comes the sandman stepping so lightly,
Stealing along on the tips of his toes,
he sprinkles the sand with his own little hands ,
in the eyes of the sleeping children,
go to sleep my baby close your sleepy eyes,
the lady moon is watching from out the darkened skies,
the little stars are peeping to see if you are sleeping,
so go to sleep my baby go to sleep goodnight.

learned this song from my wife's mother. She learned it from her father singing it to her as a child.
When she asked him where it came from he said I don't know its just an old song.
