Well, it's after midnight and the skies are
shining bright,
And a big fat moon is dancing on the sea, and I'm
thinking oh my...
And that old man in the sky he's looking me right
in the eye,
And he's wondering why, and he's saying "Little
singer,




Why aren't you sleeping, why aren't you
sleeping?"
Oh, the day is hanging heavy on my eyes, I guess
the time,
Has come to say goodnight...

And may your dreams take you travelling all night
long,
With an angel by your side when the wind blows
strong,
Oh stay away from that city, that sad and lonely
place,
I will lead you to the river, here's the door,
And the key is turning round,
Close the shutters, do not cry, there's a new
moon in the sky,
Oh hold on to your love, until your time has come
to say ... goodnight.
