Good Night Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


Now it's time to say good night
Good night Sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night Sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night Sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Good night Good night Everybody
Everybody everywhere
Good night.

Anomalies

2:02-2:09
Ringo sings "Close your eyes and I'll close mine", but the backing sings "Now it's time to say Good Night"

* NEW * It has been suggested that this is intentional :-
This is Ugo from Italy ... in reference to your Good Night (White Album) note ... I don't think that's an anomaly at all. I think it's intentional. Here in Italy there are lots of singers who sing something over a choir or some backing vocalists who sing something else on the same melody, especially in ballads or melodic songs in general. Umberto Tozzi, Raf, Laura Pausini, Claudio Baglioni and Lucio Battisti all do this.


John Lennon wrote this for his son, Julian.
Ringo sang this accompanied by a 30 piece orchestra and a choir. He is the only Beatle to appear on the song.
The Orchestra was scored by Beatles producer George Martin.
