Goodnight, my love (goodnight)
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love (sleep tight)
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me
Before you go (ooh-ooh)
There's just one thing I'd like to know (let me know)
If you love is still warm for me
Or has it gone cold?
If you should awake in the still of the night
Please have no fear
For I'll be there, darling you know I care
Please give your love to me, dear, only
Goodnight, my love (goodnight)
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love (sleep tight)
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me
And bring you closer to me
