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
And 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
