Good night, good night, sweet baby
The world has more for you
Than it seems, good night, good night
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 remain 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
Good night, good night, sweet baby
The world has more for you
Than it seems, good night, good night

Let the moonlight take the lid off your dreams
