Now the phone has stopped ringing 'round the clock
They’ve forgotten me
And I realize that it’s dumb to try
So I let them be
I can’t make out words on the page
I get confused by all the rage
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di, I’m slippin' into
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The pill for all my pain
The cure for all my grief
The deep and dreamless sleep
Now the sun goes down and the flurries fall
On my lonely home
I could watch a play, read some Hemingway
But I probably won’t
I can’t recall last Saturday
It’s hard to hear what people say
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di, I’m slippin' into
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The pill for all my pain
The cure for all my grief
The deep and dreamless sleep
I remember you well
How you loved the holidays
How you wrapped up the toys
And you left them on display
I remember our kiss
Underneath the mistletoe
How it all slipped away
And we had to let you go
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The pill for all my pain
The cure for all my grief
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
Fall into the deep and dreamless sleep
Deep and dreamless sleep
Deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep

And I realize that it’s dumb to try
So I let them be
I can’t make out words on the page
I get confused by all the rage
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di, I’m slippin' into
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The night that killed the day
And takes fast hold of me
The deep and dreamless sleep
Now the sun goes down and the flurries fall
On my lonely home
I could watch the tube, read some Dr. Seuss
But I probably won’t
I can’t recall last Saturday
It’s hard to hear what people say
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di, I’m slippin' into
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The night that killed the day
And takes fast hold of me
Fall into the deep and dreamless sleep
I remember you well
How you loved the holidays
How you wrapped up the gifts
And you left them on display
I remember the smell
Of the breath that gave you life
Like a sweet sugar plum
On a frozen Christmas night
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The night that killed the day
And takes fast hold of me
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
Take me far away
Where all things cease to be
The deep and dreamless sleep
Fall into the deep and dreamless sleep

I get confused by all the rage
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di, I’m slippin' into

The deep and dreamless sleep
The night that kills the day
Will take fast hold of me
Fall into the deep and dreamless sleep
Now the sun goes down and the flurries fall
On my lonely home
I could watch the snow, hit a rodeo
But I probably won’t
I can’t recall last Saturday
It’s hard to hear what people say
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di, I’m slippin' into

The cure for all my grief
Fall into the deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep
The deep and dreamless sleep</tabber>
