Moshi Twilight Sleep Stories

5

Snuggle down

Close your eyes

Cozy up and relaxWe′re off to the sleepiest, dreamiest corner

Of a very special place

The world of Moshi

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws

Then clear your mind

Let's drift away and see what we can find

Say hello to SleepyPaws, a very tired koala

He lives high up in a treehouse by a dreamy, Moshi harbour

But SleepyPaws is restless, and he just can′t get to sleep

So he's going on a journey, but he won't be counting sleep

SleepyPaws is setting off across a fluffy meadow

It′s lined with balls of cotton wall and candy-colored hedgerow

He′s searching for a special place

Where moshlings sleep and dream

But this is not a normal world

You'd know that if you′d be

Its lakes are filled with neon soup

And stardust covers mountains

And Moshi music spouts each hour

From rainbow sherbert fountains

When darknes falls, a strange owl calls

For all to go to sleep

And then the place falls silent

You cannot hear a peep

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws

Then clear your mind

Let's drift away and see what we can find

Twilight is calling and owls hoot their tune

Stars twinkle gently around the half moon

SleepyPaws is floating now through fields of whispering grass

His eyes are feeling heavy, there′s a question he must ask

The place he seeks is said to lie beyond a haze of pink

So he's going to ask the moshlings he encounters

What they think

"I′m looking for a sleepy place," he tells a mystic mogi

"It's over there, but do take care"

"It's getting pretty foggy"

Just then, a dinky dream cloud glides slowly into view

And SleepyPaws hears rumbling, a storm′s about to brew

Lilac rain begins to fall and glowing puddles form

But SleepyPaws keeps wandering

The raindrops feel so warm

He asks the dinky dream cloud

"Can you show me the way?"

"Follow me," the cloud replies

"You′ve had a busy day"

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws

Then clear your mind

Let's drift away and see what we can find

Raindrops are falling like sequins in streams

Tinkling sweet melodies into your dreams

I′m running down through a cloud made of cotton

Shimmering moonbeams like memories forgotten

Nighttime's upon us, the rain moves away

Minds start to wander as deep as the bay

SleepyPaws is yawning now

He′s by a starlit lake

A boat arrives, he rubs his eyes

He can barely stay awake

The boat is crewed by moshlings

They collect him from the shore

As lapping waves make soothing sounds

The stars begin to snore

Swaying on the moonlit water

SleepyPaws is drifting

The boat is bobbing up and down

Pink mist is slowly lifting

A jungle island lies ahead and distant drums are calling

Is this the place where moshlings sleep?

The boat is slowing, crawling

A songful seahorse captain looks into Sleepy's eyes

We′ll need to sing to move this thing

It's fueled by lullabys

And then, the crew began to hum a melody of bliss

The tune is quite familiar, and it sounds a bit like this

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws

Then clear your mind

Let's drift away and see what we can find

Waves lap the shorline as tired moshlings sing

Boats sailing slowly, their swaying bells ring

SleepyPaws is back on land

He′s on the jungle path

As crickets chirp their midnight song

And distant monkeys laugh

A tribe of friendly hoodoos points toward a lush lagoon

And SleepyPaws keeps walking beneath the silvery moon

"Is this the place where moshlings sleep?

He asks a passing bunny

"Perhaps," replies the rabbit

Who whispers something funny

"Maybe you′re already dreaming, did you think of that?"

Then the bunny vanishes inside its bowler hat

By the water, SleepyPaws counts seven weeping willows

And by the tallest lies a pile of very squishy pillows

"Take one of these," a sapling says

Then points towards a hollow

"Just step inside and climb the stairs

And sleep will surely follow"

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws

Then clear your mind

Let's drift away and see what we can find

High in a willow tree, sleep′s almost here

Snuggle your pillow and dreams will appear

SleepyPaws is in a tree

He's climbing spiral stairs, and at the top

A silly snuffler′s handing out cute bears

SleepyPaws nods in thanks and takes a cuddly teddy

And then a pluff in pink pajamas says

"Your nest is ready"

Walking on a branch, he sees a sea of twinkling stars

As glowing fireflies flit around in empty pickle jars

Staring at the Moshiverse, the world feels like it's slowing

And then he flops into a nest that′s gently to-and-froing

He yawns and starts to curl up when a friendly owl swoops by

It's carrying a basket through the dusky starlit sky

"Climb aboard," the owl coos

"I'm your valet for the night"

"Just snuggle in my gondola, and please, enjoy your flight"

Close your eyes, SleepyPaws

Then clear your mind

Let′s drift away and see what we can find

Fly over treetops through velvety skies

Staring above as the stars mesmerize

SleepyPaws is almost at the place he wants to be

He′s cozying in the basket as it lands upon a tree

"Night-night, sleepy," says the owl

Its face lit by the moon

"You've reached your destination, but I′m sure I'll see you soon"

Fast asleep now, SleepyPaws is dreaming of his trip

Of strange, enchanted jungles, and that music-powered ship

He can′t remember everything, so maybe he was dreaming

But in his paw

He's holding something small and round and gleaming

It′s a little piece of stardust, a nighttime souvenir

It starts to fade in Sleepy's paw, then slowly disappears

Is this what dreams are made of?

Wherever you may roam

'Cause SleepyPaws is back in bed inside his treehouse home

Goodnight, SleepyPaws

Goodnight
