Goodnight, goodnight, sweet baby
The world has more for you than it seems
Goodnight, goodnight
Let the moonlight
Take the lid off your dreams
We took a small flight
In the middle of the night
From one tiny place to another
And my parents they remained
At the shack with Lorraine
And my aunt and my grandpa and brother
We walked past the tarmac
And boarded the craft
The rain had me chilled to the bones
Just the three of us took flight that night
Uncle Richard, me and James Earl Jones
And the pilot, he gave me a blanket
While the tall dark man sang to me
In deep rich tones
Goodnight, goodnight, sweet baby
The world has more for you than it seems
Goodnight, goodnight
Let the moonlight
Take the lid off your dreams
