a magic penny from behind my ears
hold me tight n’ mop all my tears, yeah
lift me up.....when I’m so low it hurts so bad
the caramac man
stem the flow from my bloody nose
clean the sand from between my toes
clean me up.....with your loving tender hands
read me a story send my eyes to sleep
help me count all those lonely sheep
cradle me.....as my day flops into night
guide me through the don’ts and do’s
show me the paths and help me choose
give me the signs.....that point to wrong and right
Oh, it was the simple things
The tiny things that were everything
And oh, how my heart sings
The Caramac Man loves me so
help me learn my way through school
even though you don’t know it all, yeah
teach me things.....both still got a little way to go
reading, writing and arithmetic
they don’t add up until they click, yeah
teach me the things.....the teachers, yeah, they don’t know
like, the Sandman always comes around
and the Caramac Man he don’t make a sound, but
leaves a little piece of his heart.....he’s thinking of me
and the...”you know I love you all the time”
the teachers yeah.....they don’t know that rhyme, no
but it’s as sure as the.....one and two makes three
Oh, it was the simple things
The tiny things that were everything
And oh, how my heart sings
The Caramac Man loves me so
These lyrics are about...wait...if you're a good parent or guardian, you don't need a note about the meanings here! wm.
The Caramac hearts feed all the lonely sheep
And the Sandman helps them to gentle sleep, yeah
Please tell it to the Angels, cos they’ve got a right to hear
And. you know I love you all of the time
These are the memories that are yours and mine, and Before I sleep, I’ll whisper them all in your ear
