I realize tonight, here by your side All the world is new So lay down your worries and let's talk for a while Something we so seldom do You're making your way through this mean old world Riding on an ocean of blue But the sun and the sky shine in your eyes Lighting the way for you I'm going away three weeks and a day Please be good while I'm gone And I'll do my best and I'll try to get some rest And I'll hold you in my heart with a song Goodnight my precious darling Sleep tight and hold fast to your dreams When the moon and the stars shine from afar Know that I'm shining for you We have a life not perfectly bright Darkness and trials abound But hold to my hand and we'll make our stand There's nothing like a moment with you Goodnight my precious darling Sleep tight and hold fast to your dreams When the moon and the stars glow from afar Know that I'm glowing with you Don't be afraid, nothing remains Only the love in your heart Like the oak on the hill that's whispering still A song that lingers when we're apart Goodnight my precious darling Sleep tight and hold fast to your dreams When the moon and the stars smile from afar Know that I'm smiling for you When the moon and the stars smile where they are Know that I'm smiling with you
