Close Your Eyes SleepyPaws (feat. Phillipa Alexander)

Moshi Twilight Sleep Stories

Snuggle down
Close your eyes
Cozy up and relaxWe′re off to the sleepiest, dreamiest corner
Of a very special place
The world of Moshi

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws
Then clear your mind
Let's drift away and see what we can find

Say hello to SleepyPaws, a very tired koala
He lives high up in a treehouse by a dreamy, Moshi harbour
But SleepyPaws is restless, and he just can′t get to sleep
So he's going on a journey, but he won't be counting sleep

SleepyPaws is setting off across a fluffy meadow
It′s lined with balls of cotton wall and candy-colored hedgerow
He′s searching for a special place
Where moshlings sleep and dream
But this is not a normal world
You'd know that if you′d be

Its lakes are filled with neon soup
And stardust covers mountains
And Moshi music spouts each hour
From rainbow sherbert fountains
When darknes falls, a strange owl calls
For all to go to sleep
And then the place falls silent
You cannot hear a peep

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws
Then clear your mind
Let's drift away and see what we can find
Twilight is calling and owls hoot their tune
Stars twinkle gently around the half moon

SleepyPaws is floating now through fields of whispering grass
His eyes are feeling heavy, there′s a question he must ask
The place he seeks is said to lie beyond a haze of pink
So he's going to ask the moshlings he encounters
What they think
"I′m looking for a sleepy place," he tells a mystic mogi
"It's over there, but do take care"
"It's getting pretty foggy"

Just then, a dinky dream cloud glides slowly into view
And SleepyPaws hears rumbling, a storm′s about to brew
Lilac rain begins to fall and glowing puddles form
But SleepyPaws keeps wandering
The raindrops feel so warm
He asks the dinky dream cloud
"Can you show me the way?"
"Follow me," the cloud replies
"You′ve had a busy day"

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws
Then clear your mind
Let's drift away and see what we can find
Raindrops are falling like sequins in streams
Tinkling sweet melodies into your dreams

I′m running down through a cloud made of cotton
Shimmering moonbeams like memories forgotten
Nighttime's upon us, the rain moves away
Minds start to wander as deep as the bay

SleepyPaws is yawning now
He′s by a starlit lake
A boat arrives, he rubs his eyes
He can barely stay awake
The boat is crewed by moshlings
They collect him from the shore
As lapping waves make soothing sounds
The stars begin to snore

Swaying on the moonlit water
SleepyPaws is drifting
The boat is bobbing up and down
Pink mist is slowly lifting
A jungle island lies ahead and distant drums are calling
Is this the place where moshlings sleep?
The boat is slowing, crawling

A songful seahorse captain looks into Sleepy's eyes
We′ll need to sing to move this thing
It's fueled by lullabys
And then, the crew began to hum a melody of bliss
The tune is quite familiar, and it sounds a bit like this

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws
Then clear your mind
Let's drift away and see what we can find
Waves lap the shorline as tired moshlings sing
Boats sailing slowly, their swaying bells ring

SleepyPaws is back on land
He′s on the jungle path
As crickets chirp their midnight song
And distant monkeys laugh
A tribe of friendly hoodoos points toward a lush lagoon
And SleepyPaws keeps walking beneath the silvery moon

"Is this the place where moshlings sleep?
He asks a passing bunny
"Perhaps," replies the rabbit
Who whispers something funny
"Maybe you′re already dreaming, did you think of that?"
Then the bunny vanishes inside its bowler hat

By the water, SleepyPaws counts seven weeping willows
And by the tallest lies a pile of very squishy pillows
"Take one of these," a sapling says
Then points towards a hollow
"Just step inside and climb the stairs
And sleep will surely follow"

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws
Then clear your mind
Let's drift away and see what we can find
High in a willow tree, sleep′s almost here
Snuggle your pillow and dreams will appear

SleepyPaws is in a tree
He's climbing spiral stairs, and at the top
A silly snuffler′s handing out cute bears
SleepyPaws nods in thanks and takes a cuddly teddy
And then a pluff in pink pajamas says
"Your nest is ready"

Walking on a branch, he sees a sea of twinkling stars
As glowing fireflies flit around in empty pickle jars
Staring at the Moshiverse, the world feels like it's slowing
And then he flops into a nest that′s gently to-and-froing
He yawns and starts to curl up when a friendly owl swoops by
It's carrying a basket through the dusky starlit sky
"Climb aboard," the owl coos
"I'm your valet for the night"
"Just snuggle in my gondola, and please, enjoy your flight"

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws
Then clear your mind
Let′s drift away and see what we can find
Fly over treetops through velvety skies
Staring above as the stars mesmerize

SleepyPaws is almost at the place he wants to be
He′s cozying in the basket as it lands upon a tree
"Night-night, sleepy," says the owl
Its face lit by the moon
"You've reached your destination, but I′m sure I'll see you soon"

Fast asleep now, SleepyPaws is dreaming of his trip
Of strange, enchanted jungles, and that music-powered ship
He can′t remember everything, so maybe he was dreaming
But in his paw
He's holding something small and round and gleaming
It′s a little piece of stardust, a nighttime souvenir
It starts to fade in Sleepy's paw, then slowly disappears

Is this what dreams are made of?
Wherever you may roam
'Cause SleepyPaws is back in bed inside his treehouse home
Goodnight, SleepyPaws
Goodnight
