Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in teardrops
|
My eyes are so tired of the trouble I've seen
|
Then you fell from the heavens right into this sad place
|
Remembering God for a while in your dreams
|
|
And you look to me now and I greet the new day
|
With the eyes of a child and the wonder you bring
|
|
So goodnight old world, we'll see you tomorrow
|
We rise with the sun, fall with the sparrow
|
But here is this child to soften the sorrow
|
Goodnight old world, old world goodnight
|
|
You fell from the heavens right into this sad place
|
Remembering God for a while in your dreams
|
And you look to me now and I greet the new day
|
With the eyes of a child and the wonder you bring
|
|
So goodnight old world, see you tomorrow
|
We rise with the sun, fall with the sparrow
|
But here is this child to soften the sorrow
|
Goodnight old world, old world goodnight
|
Goodnight old world, old world goodnight
|
