Ernie sleeps and I'm awake Does he see me, does he see me Among the shifting shapes? The day is tired, and so am I Still I can't believe my luck I hope I don't make too many mistakes He fell off, fell off the chair The second I looked away Just about anything makes me cry Still I can't believe my luck You're a chubby little pudge ball Half animal, half Cupid You know next to nothing Still you make me feel so stupid And I can't believe my luck I am yours and you are mine Oh I've really come unstuck this time I can't believe my luck He landed like an alien From a distant, dark and liquid planet Turned this whole house upside down We will never be the same now But I don't trust my own memory Who you were last week - it's blurry already And I'm so happy watching you dance today But by tomorrow you'll be changed again And I'm no good at letting go Won't you stay the way you are? It's the hardest thing I've ever known And I can't believe my luck Is he only sleeping? Yes he is still breathing Is he only sleeping? Yes he is still breathing Is he only sleeping? Yes he is still breathing Is he only? Is he only? Yes he is still Ernie sleeps and I'm awake
