Story Behind The Song
I got the idea for "Goodnight, My Angel" after reading a Rolling Stone bio of Amy Winehouse after her death. Seems that was how her dad always said goodnight to her. I used those words to create a more universal lullaby for anyone to sing to their baby.

Lyrics
GOODNIGHT MY ANGEL
Goodnight, My Angel, goodnight.
Sleep tight, my angel, sleep tight . . .
You've had yourself -- a busy, busy day.
Time to put your playthings away.
It's time - to lie down - to sleep.
No need - for angels -- to weep . . .
You have close by a loving dad and mom,
Who'll always keep you happy and warm.
Sail off to dreamland on a river of love.
Soar through the starlight that shines from above.
Legions of angels will show you the way,
Till you wake to your next perfect day.
My sweet, you bring us such joy.
This world, will soon be, your toy.
So soon you'll be a gorgeous bright light.
So Goodnight, My Angel, goodnight.
Goodnight, My Angel, goodnight.
