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 will never 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 my child may cry, and if I sing this lullaby,
Then in my heart there will always be a part of you
.Someday we’ll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on . . .
They never die.
That’s how you and I will be.
