Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel) Lyrics

Artist: Billy Joel
Album: The River Of Dreams

Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be

This is one of my favorite songs. It's so amazingly beautiful and written with such mastery. I hope someday to sing this to my child.

This was sung yesterday at the funeral of a 9 year old who was killed last Saturday in Tucson. Thank you Billy for writing it, and let us hope it brings peace to the family of that child.
