Lucy Kaplansky Goodnight
Sleepless nights don't bother me at all
And if dawn comes I won't worry
Something deep inside keeps me awake
I wish that you were here right beside me
I recall when I was very young
And I could not fall asleep
My father sang me songs to make me tired
But memories don't come so easily
So goodnight, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
Goodnight, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
Now I lie awake and it's no fun
Tossing and I'm turning
I'd call you if it weren't so very late
But telephones won't bring you close to me
I recall the nights we stayed up late
Wide awake but still dreaming
There was nothing on this earth that could make me tired
But memories don't come so easily
So goodnight, goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
Goodnight, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
