A Song For The Night

Like a warm woollen blanket, the dark wraps around

As we cuddle together and hear all the sounds

Of the night as it's falling and coming to be

Now, look with your ears, not your eyes, and you'll see

Goodnight to the trees, so majestic and strong

Goodnight to the birds with their wonderful songs

Goodnight to the planets that wander above

Goodnight to a universe, alive with your love

The sounds of the night are the notes of a song

So secret and sacred, so beautifully strong

In the end, there's an echo, a whisper and a prayer

And though he's not seen, still the singer is there

So goodnight to creation, to the bright shining stars

Goodnight to the moon, faithful witness you are

Goodnight to the world as it hurdles through space

Goodnight to the wonder in your shining face

The sounds of the night are the notes of a song

So secret and sacred, so beautifully strong

In the end, there's an echo, a whisper and a prayer

And though he's not seen, still the singer is there

With all that is waiting, the sights and the sounds

Your wondrous world like a merry-go-round

Is it any wonder that's so hard to sleep

While outside you're playing your own hide-and-seek?
