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
  while 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
