Goodnight My Love - Ruth Etting

Goodnight my love, the tired old moon is descending

Goodnight my love, my moment with you now is ending

It was so heavenly, holding you, close to me

It will be heavenly to hold you again in a dream

The stars above have promised to meet us tomorrow

Till then my love, how dreary the new day will seem

So for the present, dear, we’ll have to part

Sleep tight, my love, goodnight, my love

Remember that you’re mine sweetheart

Goodnight my love, your mommy is kneeling beside you

Goodnight my love, to dreamland the sandman will guide you

Come now you sleepyhead, close your eyes, and go to bed

My precious sleepyhead, you mustn’t play peek-a-boo

Goodnight my love, your little Dutch dolly is yawning

Goodnight my love, your teddy bear called it a day

Your doggy’s fast asleep, my but he’s smart

Sleep tight, my love, goodnight my love
