Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby
The world has more for you
than it seems
Goodnight, goodnight
Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams
verse 1
We took a small flight
In the middle of the night
from one tiny place to another
verse 2
And my parents they remained
At the shack with Lorraine
and my aunt and my grandpa and brother
Bridge 1
We walked past the tarmac
And boarded the craft
the rain had me chilled to the bones
verse 3
Just the three of us
Took flight that night
Uncle Richard, me and James Earl Jones

Bridge 2
And the pilot he gave me
A blanket while the tall dark man
sang to me in deep rich tones
Chorus 2
Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby
The world has more for you
than it seems
Goodnight, goodnight
Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams
