Goodnight My Love - Benny Goodman, Helen Forrest

Good night, my love

Benny Goodman

(Mack Gordon & Harry Revel)

Good night, my love, the tired old moon is descending

Good night, my love, my moment with you is now ending

It was so heavenly, holding you close to me

It will be heavenly to hold you again in a dream

The stars above have promised to meet us tomorrow

Till then, my love, how dreary the new day will seem

So for the present, dear, we’ll have to part

Sleep tight, my love, good night, my love

Remember that you’re mine, sweetheart

Good night, my love, your mommy is kneeling beside you

Good night, my love, to Dreamland the Sandman will guide you

Come now, you sleepy head, close your eyes, go to bed

My precious sleepy head, you mustn’t play peek-a-boo

Goodnight, my love, your little Dutch dolly is yawning

Goodnight, my love, your teddy bear called it a day

Your doggy’s fast asleep, my but he’s smart

Sleep tight, my love, good night, my love

God bless you, pleasant dreams, sweetheart
