Goodnight Moon Songtext
von Vagabond Opera

It′s been a beautiful night

Raise your glass
To the dead that's departed
To days gone by

Raise your glass
Let′s end where we started
Goodnight, goodnight

Fly away
Let's go home
One last toast
Rainy night
Dream in bed

Kiss goodbye
Clasp my hand
Cheer to all
And I salute the dead

Say goodnight
To the friends we have made here
And goodnight moon


Thirty five
I was old when I started to sing this song
Thirty six
Steals round the corner, I won't be long

Singing here with you
By all the conundrums have disappeared

Hold my hand
Warm my heart
Rainy night
Life′s too short
Fades too soon

Say goodnight
To the friends we have made here
And goodnight moon

I′m alive
And sometimes I know it
Here's to those times


I′m in love
With the sea salt, the spit
With the ports, the grime
Eat the world with a spoon
Drink it down
Sing to it
Write a song

Oh, solve a mystery
Night glow and bittersweet
Love in bloom

Say goodnight
To the friends we have made here
And goodnight moon

What the Hell
Let's get drunk on each other
And dance all night
Oh what the Hell
Let′s roll out those barrels
Another pint

Sordid life, lusty heart
Highest crimes, lowest art
I submit
Kiss me again and again and again
This fire is lit

Say goodnight
To the friends we have made here
And goodnight moon

Sing a song
Of three-penny vagabonds warm with rye

Sing a song
Of sixpence and blackbirds baked in a pie

Oh once I was happy
No, now I am happy with you tonight

Since all is passing
Sing melodies
Twilight comes too soon

Say goodnight
To the friends we have made here
And goodnight moon

Raise your glass
To the dead that's departed
To days gone by

Raise your glass
Let′s end where we started
Goodnight goodnight

Fly away
Let's go home
One last toast
Rainy night
Dream in bed

Kiss me again and again and again
This fire is lit

Say goodnight
To the friends we have made here
And goodnight moon

Say goodnight
To the friends we have made here
And goodnight moon
