Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel).
“
Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream.
And dream how wonderful your life will be.
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me.
Someday we'll all be gone.
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die.
That's how you
And I
Will be.
— Billy Joel
