Goodnight, my angel

Time to close your eyes

And save these questions for another day

I think I know what

You've been asking me

I think you know

What I've been trying to say

I promised I would never leave you

And you should always know

Wherever you may go

No matter where you are

I never will be far away.

Goodnight, my angel

Now it's time to sleep

And still so many things I want to say

Remember all the songs

You sang for me

When we went sailing

On an emerald bay

And like a boat out on the ocean

I'm rocking you to sleep

The water's dark

And deep inside this ancient heart

You'll always be a part of me.

Goodnight, my angel

Now it's time to dream

And dream how wonderful

Your life will be

Someday your child may cry

And if you sing this lullaby

Then in your heart

There will always be a part of me.

Someday we'll all be gone

But lullabies go on and on

They never die

That's how you

And I will be.
