She said it's three AM 
And everybody else is fast asleep in bed 
And I can't seem to find the switch to turn the lights off 
Even though you need to fall asleep 

Goodnight moon 
I'll close my eyes, okay, alright and say 
Goodnight to the shadows on the wall 
We're drifting through the empty streets with weightless feet 
Singing goodnight to the moon 

I think you're cute when you are dreaming 
All about the city lights around 
And when you wake up after daybreak 
So will everyone who lives in town 

They'll say, "Did you see when Rocket Number Nine took to the open skies late last night?" 
They'll say, "It flew beyond the atmosphere and took pictures of the brilliant northern lights!" 

Goodnight moon 
I'll close my eyes, okay, alright and say 
Goodnight to the shadows on the wall 
We're drifting through the empty streets with weightless feet 
Singing goodnight to the moon 

Turn around, you can turn the car around girl 
Because there's something that's caught my eye 
And I've been writing it down, girl 
In case you ever said goodbye 
You'll have to wait and see 
When you open your eyes wide 
How does you feel 
After a night long car ride? 

Goodnight, moon
