Lyrics Jean Shepard

Jean Shepard

Goodnight Me

Goodnight me eyes it's closing time I just heard the lonely chime

The sun just caught us wide awake the third time this week

Please won't you mind let's try and get some sleep

I just took a warm bed drank a milk and read half a book

But I still can't put these thoughts of you asleep

I lay staring in the darkness thinking how your mem'ry looks

Counting broken dreams instead of sheep

Goodnight me eyes...

Every night since he left us we go through the same routine

When everybody else's sound asleep

Mind please cut off all those thoughts of telling me he's gone

I shut up and try to get some sleep

Goodnight me eyes...
