Goodnight Old World - Emmylou Harris

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
