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 await you 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're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
(Repeat)
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 await you 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're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
(Repeat)
Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight
This medley by The Bee Gees features two iconic ballads originally recorded for the soundtrack of the 1975 film *Yellow Submarine*. 'Golden Slumbers' and 'Carry That Weight' were composed by George Martin and performed by the group, showcasing their signature harmonies and melodic sensibility. The track became a staple of their discography, often appearing on compilations and live performances. Its enduring appeal lies in its gentle, nostalgic tone and the seamless blend of the two songs, which reflects the group's mastery of pop composition during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The recording remains a defining example of their contribution to the psychedelic pop genre.
