Classic Poem

(with Jimmy Campbell and Reginald Connelly)

VERSE 1

The day is over and its cares and woes
In peaceful sweet repose
Will fade and die.
A dreamy dreamland beckons you and me.
How happy life would be,
If we could dream forever!

REFRAIN

Good night, sweetheart,
Till we meet tomorrow.
Good night, sweetheart,
Sleep will banish sorrow.
Tears and parting
May make us forlorn,
But with the dawn
A new day is born.
(So I'll say) Good night, sweetheart,
Tho' I'm not beside you.
Good night, sweetheart,
Still my love will guide you.
Dreams enfold you,
In each one I'll hold you.
Good night, sweetheart, good night.

VERSE 2

Let others dread the thought of parting time,
No reason or no rhyme
In thinking so.
To us the sweetest hour is parting time,
For then we really find
Love's perfect glow revealing.

REPEAT REFRAIN
