Goodnight, my angel, time to close your eyes 

And save these questions for another day 

I think I know what you've been asking me 

I think you know what I've been trying to say 

I promised I would never leave you 

Then you should always know 

Wherever you may go, no matter where you are 

I never will be far away 
Goodnight, my angel, now it's time to sleep 

And still so many things I want to say 

Remember all the songs you sang for me 

When we went sailing on an emerald bay 


And like a boat out on the ocean 

I'm rocking you to sleep 

The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient heart 

You'll always be a part of me 

Goodnight, my angel , now it's time to dream 

And dream how wonderful your life will be 

Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby 

Then in your heart there will always be a part of me 

Someday we'll all be gone 

But lullabys go on and on 

They never die 

That's how you and I will be
