In the quiet of the night, Brooklyn baby tucked in tight. Close your eyes, everything's all right. Dreams will take you to the light. Like a star, you're lovely and bright. So sleep baby girl, sleep all night. ↗

If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl. ↗

I smiled, and you winked. I think. Perhaps you merely blink with one eye at a time. ↗
