No Cierres Los Ojos, Niño

Don't close your eyes, kid
It makes me really sad
To sing to you and you not hear me
To look at you and you not see me

Don't close your eyes, kid
The night is full of stars
With a chocolate moon
And little lights like cinnamon

I'm gonna tell you a story
A story so you won't sleep
About wolves with long teeth
And witches that aren't nice

I want you to stay awake
I want you to not fall asleep
I want you to scream at me
And break the new crib

Seeing you sleep is sad
It really scares me
What if your eyes
Turn completely black

I'm gonna tell you a story
A story so you won't sleep

I want you to sing to me
I want you to put me to sleep
So you can light up my dreams
With your little strawberry eyes

I want you to stay awake
I want you to not fall asleep
I want you to cry for me
To run and throw stones

Seeing you sleep is sad
It really scares me
What if your eyes
Turn so dark

I want you to sing to me
I want you to put me to sleep
