Indulge me while I philosophize And try to find the meaning of the tears in your eyes You're inconsolable or so it appears Unless I can decipher the mathematics of tears
Oh you're sad and so forlorn Cry my dear, cry til' dawn
Sleep my love, sleep my dear It's time to close your eyes The time is drawing near Sleep my love, sleep my dear It's time to say goodnight The night is drawing near Sleep my love
You are melancholy and long for sleep But for now your bed is just a place to weep Though eventually you'll rest and as the dawn appears I finally understand the mathematics of tears
Oh you're sad and so forlorn Cry my dear, cry til' dawn
Sleep my love, sleep my dear It's time to close your eyes The time is drawing near Sleep my love, sleep my dear It's time to say goodnight The night is drawing near Sleep my love
