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
