Verse 1

In a room with soft satin pillows

Cracklin' fireplace keeps us warm

Whisprin' wind through weepin' willows

And sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms

Verse 2

In a soft light her eyes are gleamin'

Pretty little hand covers

Up her mouth when she yawns

Wake me up, I must be dreamin' that

Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms

Verse 3

Sleepy kisses, warm me softly

Get much warmer later on

I reach for the light turn it off

Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms

Verse 4

Sleepy kisses, warm me softly

Get much warmer later on

I reach for the light turn it off

Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms
