goodnight, goodnight
by Mary Ellen Smithtime to kiss the day goodnight,
pray that God keeps all things right.
time to close those sleepy eyes,
shoosh, there now, no more cries.
time to sweep away the day,
dream of games that children play.
time to snuggle in and then,
another day to rise again.
goodnight, goodnight
I'll be right here.
goodnight, goodnight
I love you dear.
goodnight, goodnight
come the day,
you and I again will play.
so leave a little smile with me,
I'll give it back, you will see.
I'll keep it here close to my heart
the place where all good smiles start.
goodnight.
