Count ten

When I couldn't go to sleep,
My grandmother used to say,
"You'd better get off your merry-go-round
At the end of day."
She'd kiss me on the chin
And (hen tuck the covers in.
She'd say,
"Good night, sleep tight, little mite.
Now yon can begin.
Count ten.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
As long as you can.
Count ten.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Then do it again.
If the thoughts keep going round and round
That busied your head all day,
Tell them to lie down or go away.
While you count one, two, three, four,
You're watching snow, you're minding sheep,
You're counting stars where the sky is deep
And first thing you know
You won't know a thing
Because you'll be fast asleep."
