Goodnight, my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you´ve been asking me
I think you know what I´ve been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you

Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight, my angel, now it´s time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I´m rocking you to sleep
The water´s dark and deep, inside this ancient heart
You´ll always be a part of me

Goodnight, my angel , now it´s time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby

Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Someday we´ll all be gone
But lullabys go on and on
They never die
That´s how you and I will be
