Sweet Dreams Come Easily

Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Eurythmics (Sweet Dreams)

Sweet dreams come easily

This is how it works for me

I prop my elbows on my knees

Pretty soon I’m dreaming of something


Sometimes I try to fight it

Sometimes my head jerks back and forth

I think I’ll rest my eyelids”

One time I woke up on the floor


Sweet dreams come easily

Even the bishop will agree

From where he sits, he can plainly see

Everybody’s little siestas


Hold your head up, 

keep your head up, nodding off

Hold your head up, nodding off, 

keep your head up, nodding off

Hold your head up, nodding off, 

keep your head up, nodding off

Hold your head up, nodding off, 

keep your head up


Sometimes I even drool

I have that problem when I snooze

Would I look like a fool?

If I laid my head on the pews?


Sweet dreams come easily

One quick nap turns into three

We’ve all felt the urge to some degree

Inadvertent acts of slumber


Sweet dreams come easily

I close my eye's while listening

I even doze while people sing

Chapel’s empty, I am still snoring 


Sweet dreams come easily

I’m just a victim, don’t you see?

My mind tunes things out, and that’s the key

It’s compulsive hibernation


Sweet dreams come easily

This is how it works for me

I prop my elbows on my knees

Pretty soon I’m dreaming of something!
