Lyrics:

We go back such a long way
I remember when each new day was a lovers day
But I recall you crying little Sleepyhead

God still looks down on me
Hope she likes what she sees

And I won’t forget my stupid grin
As you lay there dozing on my lap at the back of the coach
Ah we’d grow up so well, my Sleepyhead

God still looks down on me
Hope she likes what she sees

I’m so drowsy but it makes no sense to me
Why a boy could have been so happy on a school leaving day
And the summertime, it reminds me of an age ago
You’d lie with me in the long grass and swap tongues with me

We left school more than best friends
We had to share a room at David’s party
And we spoilt everything, my little Sleepyhead
I took the hint climbed in your bed
But we didn’t sleep, no no, didn’t sleep
Didn’t sleep.

I’m still drowsy but it makes no sense to me
Why a boy could have been so happy on a school leaving day
And the summertime, it reminds me of an age ago
You’d lie with me in the long grass and swap tongues with me
