Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn onto
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know
Everything's alright? Yes
Everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight
[Verse 2]
(Everything's alright, yes)
(Everything's alright, yes)
[Verse 3]
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight
[Verse 4]
(Everything's alright, yes)
(Everything's alright, yes)
[Verse 5]
Woman, your fine ointment
Brand new and expensive
Could have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted?
We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry
People who are starving
Matter more than your feet and hair
[Verse 6]
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn onto
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know
Everything's alright? Yes
Everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight
[Verse 7]
(Everything's alright, yes)
(Everything's alright, yes)
[Verse 8]
Surely, you're not saying
We have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always
Pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got
Think while you still have me
Move while you still see me
You'll be lost
You'll be so sorry when I'm gone
[Verse 9]
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes
Everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
[Verse 10]
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight
(Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax, think of nothing tonight)
Close your eyes, close your eyes
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
And relax, think of nothing tonight
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
(Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax, think of nothing tonight)
Close your eyes, close your eyes
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
And relax, think of nothing tonight
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
(Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax, think of nothing tonight)
Close your eyes, close your eyes
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
And relax, think of nothing tonight
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
(Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax, think of nothing tonight)
Close your eyes, close your eyes
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
And relax, think of nothing tonight
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
(Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax, think of nothing tonight)
[Verse 11]
Close your eyes, close your eyes
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
And relax, think of nothing tonight
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
(Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax, think of nothing tonight)
Close your eyes, and relax think of nothing for tonight
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
(Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax, think of nothing tonight)
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
Close your eyes and relax, think of nothing for tonight
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
(Close your eyes, close your eyes, and relax, think of nothing tonight)
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes)
Close your eyes, close your eyes
(Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright)
And relax, think of nothing
Tonight
