Child's Goodnight Song

Tena Broach 1961 (Rome)

Ballad
It's dark outside and the moon is shining bright.  Now it's time for us to say goodnight. We'll close our eyes, say our prayers then sing a lullabye. Now it's time to say goodnight. We'll have sweet dreams of rainbows in the sky. Smile while butterflies going flying by. We'll dream of eating ice cream cake and pie. But now it's time to say goodnight. Goodnight.
