The Goodnight Song by Tony Carey Lyrics

When you were smaller then
Seemed like your favorite word was ‘No’
And now you've grown again
Your favorite word is ‘Why’

And I don’t have the answers
But I'll only tell you what I've learned
If you reach for the moon
You'll always touch the sky

And it gets cold out there
And it can hurt you if you let it
But you can fly somewhere as high as you can see
But as you get older
Remember these words, don’t forget it
You can be anything that you want to be

But though the wind outside's howlin' through the trees
The rain's comin’ down in sheets
Here you’re all tucked in tight
And I won’t turn out the lights till you’re all asleep
So good night
Yeah, good night, my babies
I will still be here for you when you wake up
