"The Goodnight Song"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Morris �©2008

VS. 1
Little girl, little girl - let your heavy eyes fall down
Let your Charming come and take you away, you'll always be a princess to me.

CHORUS
I'll sing to you, your lullaby - now it's time - escape from the day.
And as you sleep, I'll pray the Lord your soul to keep so let the night take you away

VS. 2
Little boy, little boy - let your heavy eyes fall down
Grab your sword and shield, this time I won't stand in your way - you'll always be a hero to me.

(Chorus)

BRIDGE
As for me, I'll dream of the father I wish I could be.

(Chorus)

ENDING
let the night take you away; let the night take you away; let the night take you away.
