GOODNIGHT song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

Based on a translation of the poem by Paul Bourget

When the sun falls into the red
and the rivers are roses
and the wind that sweeps down from the north
passes over the fields in waves

and the night makes to us a promise
that it will conquer the day
with a good good goodnight
and still leave us time to pray

then let me be all that I am
time is short and yet while we can
let's pretend that we can be happy
climbing up on the mountain of heart

let us say our goodnights to our friends
let us love in the dark till the end
because when they extinguish the light
all that's left is to say goodnight

goodnight my love
goodnight above
goodnight my dreams
of what could have been
goodnight my blood
goodnight my heart
wrong or right
goodnight

try to take in all of the wonder
while we still can be one with the beauty
while we still have our courage and are young
while we still have our eyes and are strong

this is how we can be brave
like the stream that is flowing away
like the stream that flows down to the sea
and we to the eternal grave

goodnight my love
goodnight above
goodnight my dreams
of what could have been
goodnight my blood
goodnight my heart
wrong or right
goodnight
