Goodnight, Sweetheart
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
Goodnight sweetheart, I'll be watching o'er you
Tears and parting may make us forlorn
But with the dawn a new day is born
So I'll say goodnight sweetheart, sleep will banish sorrow
Goodnight Sweetheart, when we meet tomorrow
Dreams enfold you, in them, dear, I'll hold you
Goodnight sweetheart goodnight.
Goodnight sweetheart, all my prayers are for you
Goodnight sweetheart, I'll be watching o'er you
Tears and parting may make us forlorn
But with the dawn a new day is born
So I'll say goodnight sweetheart, sleep will banish sorrow
Goodnight sweetheart, when we meet tomorrow
Dreams enfold you, in them, dear, I'll hold you
Goodnight sweetheart goodnight.
