Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby The world has more for you than it seems Goodnight, goodnight Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams Instrumental 1 x 4 verse 1 We took a small flight In the middle of the night from one tiny place to another verse 2 And my parents they remained At the shack with Lorraine and my aunt and my grandpa and brother Bridge 1 We walked past the tarmac And boarded the craft the rain had me chilled to the bones verse 3 Just the three of us Took flight that night Uncle Richard, me and James Earl Jones Instrumental 2 x 4 Instrumental 3 x 3 Bridge 2 And the pilot he gave me A blanket while the tall dark man sang to me in deep rich tones... Chorus 2 Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby The world has more for you than it seems Goodnight, goodnight Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams
