Lyrics
- The day is over and its cares and woes
In peaceful sweet repose will fade and die
A dreamy dreamland beckons you and me
How happy life would be
If we could dream forever
Chorus
Good night sweetheart, till we meet tomorrow
Good night sweetheart, sleep will banish sorrow
Tears and parting may make us forlorn
But with the dawn, a new day is born
(So I’ll say)
Good night, sweetheart, tho’ I’m not beside you
Good night sweetheart, still my love will guide you
Dreams enfold you, in each one I’ll hold you
Good night, sweetheart, good night
- Let others dread the thought of parting time
No reason or no rhyme in thinking so
To us the sweetest hour is parting time
For then we really find
Love’s perfect glow revealing
