The day is over and its cares and woes
In peaceful, sweet repose will fade and die
A dreamy dreamland beckons you and me
How happy life would be if we could dream forever

Goodnight, sweetheart
Till we meet tomorrow
Goodnight, sweetheart
Sleep will banish sorrow

Tears and parting
They make us forlorn
But with the dawn
A new day is born

Goodnight, sweetheart
Though I'm not beside you
Goodnight, sweetheart
Still, my love will guide you

Dreams enfold you
In each one I'll hold you
Goodnight, sweetheart
Goodnight

Goodnight, sweetheart
Till we meet tomorrow
Goodnight, sweetheart
Sleep will banish sorrow
Tears and parting
They make us forlorn
But with the dawn
A new day is born

Goodnight, sweetheart
Though I'm not beside you
Goodnight, sweetheart
Still, my love will guide you

Dreams enfold you
In each one I'll hold you
Goodnight, sweetheart
Goodnight
