Good night, God bless, and Sleep Tight,
a kind of blessing
Mum used to tuck me up in my bed and whisper these words in my earJust before she turned out the light."Good night, God bless and sleep tight."I blushed with shame when she did the same, when I was just thirteen years old,Again as she turned out the light."Good night, God bless and sleep tight."These are the words that have carried me through.And they could do the same for you"Good night,God bless and sleep tight."At twenty one I met a really bad girl and did things I try to forget,But she whispered these words, slipping into the night, "Good night,God bless and sleep tight."Married at last, it was really so good to find that my bride thought like me,So we shared these few words as she held me so tight,"Good night,God bless and sleep tight."Some folks , like me, have no faith or beliefAnd really don't think much of prayer,But I've learned that it's good to use these few wordsTo tell someone you really care.Together for years, we still felt the same, it was always our nightly routine.Without saying these words it wouldn't feel right,"Good night,God bless and sleep tight."Now, sad to say, I'm all on my own, so to myself I'll whisper these wordsAs they finally come to turn out the light."Good night, God bless and sleep tight."
