lyrics

I don’t want to go to bed
I don’t want to be left alone
I don’t want to rest my head
I just want to keep playing on

I don’t want to stop now
When there’s something good going on
I don’t want to go to bed
Why you tryin’ to ruin all my fun

Cause when I go to sleep
Might fall too deep
Where shadows hide secrets they don’t want me to know
When I close my eyes
And things get quiet
My mind wanders where I don’t want to go

I don’t want to go to bed
I just want to stay by your side
I don’t want to lay down my head
I just want to keep you occupied

I don’t want to calm down
I don’t want to hear a bedtime story
I don’t want to go to sleep
You’re infringing on my territory

But when you leave my room
It’s much too soon
I haven’t finished everything I wanted to say
When you kiss goodnight
Turn off the light
Oh more than anything I wish you’d stay

I don’t want to go to sleep
I don’t want to miss out on nothin’
I don’t want to make “no peep”
I don’t want to listen to your hushing

I don’t want to sleep tight
I don’t want to have to settle down
I just want to stay up all night
Yeah I want to keep running round

Oh you know, truth be told
I’m a little bit sleepy
And I really like when you sing to me that way
And oh truth be told here I go
I’m a little bit dreamy
And I think I might drift away

I don’t want to go to bed
I don’t want to slow down my body
You know I want to play drums instead
And have a really big dance party

I don’t want to stop now
When there’s something good going on
I don’t want to go to sleep
Why you tryin’ to ruin all my fun

I don’t want to go to bed
I don’t want to miss out on nothing
I don’t want to count no sheep
Oh I’m hoping that you give me something

I don’t want to stop now
All my creativity is flowing
I don’t want to go to bed
I’m a freight train, I keep rolling

Sara Lovell Berkeley, California

Sara Lovell's third children’s music album in less than four years, Night Life, celebrates the hours leading to bedtime and the magical worlds we enter when we finally fall sleep. As with her last two award winning albums, the new release moves beautifully between diverse musical genres – at moments riotous and full of unrestrained joy, at other moments tender, introspective and melodic. ... more
