Lyrics
- The moment you walked away, darling
You walked away with my heart
And now ev’ry night when I turn down the light
I whisper while we’re apart
Chorus
Goodnight, wherever you are
May your dreams be pleasant dreams
Wherever you are
If only one little wish that I wish comes true
I know that the angels
Will watch over you
Goodnight, wherever you are
I’ll be with you, dear
No matter how near or far
With all my heart I pray
Ev’rything is all right
Wherever you are, goodnight
- The minutes have turned into hours
The night has banished the day
And while we’re apart ev’ry beat of my heart
Is beating the same old way
