(It's the Lord's way of saying goodnight)
All the cares of the day are behind me and I know everything is all right
For that's not just a star twinkling bright from above
It's the Lord's way of saying goodnight
There's a wonderful feeling comes over me as I gaze on the moon silvery line
For it's more than a glow that I see from below
It's the Lord's way of saying goodnight
I see him all day in the flowers he speaks through the birds in the tree
And at last I should know lonely hours there's his comfort in touching the breeze
Oh I know that he's always beside me as I walk in the sun shining bright
And when daylight is gone let the darkness creep on
It's the Lord's way of saying goodnight (goodnight)
