Sarah Vaughan with George Treadwell and His All-Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tired old moon is descending
Goodnight my love
My moment with you now is ending
It was so heavenly
Holding you close to me
It will be heavenly
To hold you again in a dream
The stars above have promised to meet us tomorrow
Till then my love, how dreary the new day will seem
So for the present, dear
We'll have to part
Sleep tight, my love
Goodnight, my love
Remember that you're mine, sweetheart
Goodnight my love
Your little Dutch dolly is yawning
Goodnight my love,
Your teddy bear called it a day
Your doggy's fast asleep
My but he's smart
Sleep tight, my love, goodnight my love
God bless you, pleasant dream, sweetheart

Goodnight my love
I bid you farewell, my dearest
The tired old moon is descending
The moon is setting, marking the end of our time together for now
My moment with you now is ending
Our time together has come to a close
It was so heavenly
Being with you was pure bliss
Holding you close to me
Being able to embrace you was a great joy
It will be heavenly

I wish for nothing more than to be able to dream of holding you once again

Even your loyal dog is sound asleep
My but he's smart
It's impressive how intelligent and intuitive your dog is
Sleep tight, my love, goodnight my love
Sleep well, my dearest, farewell
God bless you, pleasant dream, sweetheart
May God watch over you while you dream, my love

My mother sang this to me, then to my children, and I sang it to them too.
Later I sang it to my granddaughters.
This is the best version.
