The wind will still blow
The world is still turning
Somewhere exotic
The sun is still burning
But here the night's falling
And so must we rest
Your head by my heart
Gently pressed to my breast
The whispering ocean
With tall tales to tell
Is done for the day
As he settles his swell
The flickering stars
So impossibly high
Are yawning and waving
From far in the sky
And old mother moon
With her pale peaceful light
Keeps watch from above
As she sings us goodnight
"Goodnight, goodnight
Oh my children, goodnight
Sleep deeply, sleep safely
My children sleep tight"
