      I prefer most of his songs like this, not the album versions, although they are good , they just don't hit the same

      @@kayal5905 I agree...the album versions just don't capture all the little details of his voice and the instrumentation like the live shows/recordings do

    Sweet dreams
    Let me lay here down
    Hold your breath
    Don't make a sound
    Baby, oh, say, can you sleep?
    I've been getting pretty good
    At counting sheep
    I am the very specimen
    Of a sleepwalking gentleman
    If I die before I wake
    Save my dreams for another day
    'Cause tonight
    I've got nothing on my mind but you
    Somewhere, somehow
    You'll feel it too
    Ooh, don't you take a bow at the
    Last curtain call
    Thinking you're nobody's
    Nothing after all
    (Nothing after all)
    Sweet dreams
    Let me lay here down
    Hope your feet don't touch the ground
    It's getting late why can't I sleep
    I've been getting pretty good
    At counting sheep
    I am the very specimen
    Of a sleepwalking gentleman
    If I die before I wake
    Save my dreams for another day
    'Cause tonight

    (Something after all)
    Tonight!
    I've got nothing on my mind but you
    Somewhere, somehow
    You'll feel it too
    Ooh, don't you take a bow at the

      If you like this, you should go check out his older stuff where he's playing one-man-band style. Also, listen to this whole album... just listen to all his stuff. I've had a really hard time finding any of his work disappointing.
