Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake when you rise
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Boy, you gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight
A long time
Boy...
Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Oh, yeah, yeah

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, mixing early rock and R&B with original songwriting and stylistic experimentation. Known for their influential catalog and studio innovations under producer George Martin, they helped redefine pop music’s artistic scope through releases from Please Please Me to Strawberry Fields Forever and Revolver.
