I knew it would never end up right,
I knew it would all fall apart
On some dark lonely night;
And I look down on the bed,
Where I used to rest my head,
With my mother long gone
I sing that goodnight song:

Good night little darling,
Tomorrow is another day;
All things will get better
And go in a different way.
Sweet dreams, my son,
Tomorrow the sun will shine,
And your new life will start again,
Tomorrow is another time.

Alone with no kiss at the end of the song,
Alone with no one to sing and stay all life along;
But I remember the time,
When I did stay with my mom,
And once again all day long
I sing that old my mother's song:

Good night little darling,
Tomorrow is another day;
All things will get better
And go in a different way.
Sweet dreams, my son,
Tomorrow the sun will shine,
And your new life will start again,
Tomorrow is another time.
