Lyrics
[Intro] To you, sing songs I might, by sleepy bedside Say what words I'm thinking of saying But what does it matter? What does?
If it may please you To you, sing songs I might, by sleepy bedside Say what words I'm thinking of saying But what does it matter? What does?
[Verse 1] My voice is low, but I'd like to know what You're thinking of saying Your words just filling my ears
It's easy to sleep In the ground or the sky Sing songs If it may please you
Paradise is somewhere to go when you die And take along a song Just bring one along One you can breeze through
[Refrain] Because it's nice Just me and you There's no need to be blue Over a few odds and ends
It's paradise Being here with you When the music begins Here in oyster thins
[Bridge] She's got those bedroom eyes You know they can't be wrong Not while the sauce is steaming
Sauce that salty harbor for An oyster with an easy smile
When she sits in her chair Then her legs uncross After throwing dinner down
With the fork still in her hand Turns our thoughts to other matters
On the edge of the lawn in her cashmere sweater What could be better than one last dog trick?
At day's end Here in Oyster thin
[Verse 2] One sun in a million Falling on our sleepy heads In our sleepy beds Dreams were always meant to be like these
You loosened your blouse And you pulled it over your head You turned out the light And crawled into bed
And fell asleep On the melody What could be better Well, why not let her Keep the rhythm of sleep
[Refrain] Because it's nice Being here with you There's no need to be blue Over a few odds and ends
Yes, it's paradise Just me and you When the music begins Here in oyster thins
