Isn't it lovely, when the dawn brings the dew?
I'll be watching over you.
Goodnight my sweetheart,
Until we leave tonight,
Hold me in your arms,
Wish me some luck as you wave goodbye to me.
You're the best friends I ever had,
Goodnight sleep tight,
Goodnight God bless,
Goodnight nos da,
I'll try my best.
Ins't it lovely
when the dawn brings the dew
I'll be watching over you
I will be waiting all my cares are for you,
Dreams they leave and die.
I'm just gonna close my eyes, think about my family,
And shed a little tear.
Goodnight sleep tight,
Goodnight God bless,
Goodnight nos da,
I'll try my best.
Ins't it lovely
when the dawn brings the dew
I'll be watching over you
Leave me, go Jesus
I love you, yeah I love you.
Just let me go.
I even love the devil,
For yes he did me harm,
To keep me any longer.
Cos I'm really tired, I'd love to go to sleep and wake up happy,
Yeah I'm really tired, I'd love to go to sleep and wake up happy,
wake up happy.
