Goodnight, goodnight, sweet baby
The world has more for you
Than is 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 borded the craft
The rain had me chilled to the bone
Just the three of us
Took the flight that night
Uncle Richard, me and James Earl Jones
And the pilot, he gave me a blanket
And the tall dark man
Sang to me in deep, rich tones
Goodnight, goodnight, sweet baby
The world has more for you
Than is seems
Goodnight, goodnight
Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams
