It’s late and it’s time for us to say goodnight…
Sleep well, beneath the soft glow of the stars and moon.
Pleasant dreams until tomorrow’s dawning light.
A new morning will be here soon…
And the cheerful sun will be shining bright,
Like an enormous, yellow balloon.

Without you, what would I do?
You always make my morning bright,
And each day, pleasant to pass…
Sweetening my dreams at night.
When I’m feeling sad and gloomy…
Ready to abandon any hope,
You cheerily say the right words to me…
Uplift and encourage my heart to cope.
Your love is rare and irreplaceable.
If I lost you, darkness would destroy me…
Shattered to shards, I may as well be…
Tossed on a trash heap as debris.
