(It's the Lord's way of saying goodnight)
All the cares of the day are behind me
And I know everything is all right
For that's not just a star
Twinkling bright from above
It's the Lord's way of saying goodnight
There's a wonderful feeling comes over me
As I gaze on the moon silvery line
For it's more than a glow
That I see from below
It's the Lord's way of saying goodnight
I see him all day in the flowers
He speaks through the birds in the tree
And at last I should know lonely hours
There's his comfort in touching the breeze
Oh I know that he's always beside me
As I walk in the sun shining bright
And when daylight is gone
Let the darkness creep on
It's the Lord's way of saying goodnight (Goodnight)
