Well, it's after midnight and the stars are shining bright |
|
And a big fat moon is dancing on the sea, and I'm thinking, oh my... |
|
And that old man in the sky he's looking me right in the eye |
|
And he's wondering why, and he's saying "Little singer, |
|
Why aren't you sleeping, why aren't you sleeping?" |
|
Oh, the day is hanging heavy on my eyes, I guess the time |
|
Has come to say goodnight... |
|
And may your dreams take you travelling all night long, |
|
With an angel by your side when the wind blows strong |
|
Oh stay away from that city, that sad and lonely place, |
|
I will lead you to the river, here's the door, |
|
And the key is turning round |
|
Close the shutters, do not cry, there's a new moon in the sky; |
|
Oh hold on to your love, until your time has come to say... goodnight. |
