Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby

The world has more for you than it seems

Goodnight, goodnight

Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams

We took a small flight in the middle of the night

From one tiny place to another

And my parents they remained at the shack

With Lorraine and my aunt, and my grandpa and brother

We walked past the tarmac and boarded the craft

The rain had me chilled to the bones

Just the three of us took flight that night

Uncle Richard, me and James Earl Jones

And the pilot he gave me a blanket

And the tall dark man

Sang to me in deep rich tones

Goodnight, goodnight sweet baby

The world has more for you than it seems

Goodnight, goodnight

Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams
