AwayAwayI Just can’t wait to fall asleepI can’t wait for night each day‘Cause, when the lights are lowNo matter where you go, you’re only 40 winks away, awayNo matter how far you may beBelieve me darling when I sayThe oceans in between, I cross them on a dream‘Cause, you’re just 40 winks away, awayThere’s a land of enchantmentJust beyond my pillowcaseAnd I go there, ’cause, I know thereI’ll be in your sweet embraceSo ’til you come back home againUntil you’re in my arms to stayIt’s kinda nice to know, I turn the lights down lowAnd you’re just 40 winks away, away, away, away
