I realize tonight, here by your side
All the world is new
So lay down your worries and let's talk for a while
Something we so seldom do
You're making your way through this mean old world
Riding on an ocean of blue
But the sun and the sky shine in your eyes
Lighting the way for you
I'm going away three weeks and a day
Please be good while I'm gone
And I'll do my best and I'll try to get some rest
And I'll hold you in my heart with a song
Goodnight my precious darling
Sleep tight and hold fast to your dreams
When the moon and the stars shine from afar
Know that I'm shining for you
We have a life not perfectly bright
Darkness and trials abound
But hold to my hand and we'll make our stand
There's nothing like a moment with you
Goodnight my precious darling
Sleep tight and hold fast to your dreams
When the moon and the stars glow from afar
Know that I'm glowing with you
Don't be afraid, nothing remains
Only the love in your heart
Like the oak on the hill that's whispering still
A song that lingers when we're apart
Goodnight my precious darling
Sleep tight and hold fast to your dreams
When the moon and the stars smile from afar
Know that I'm smiling for you
When the moon and the stars smile where they are
Know that I'm smiling with you

This is a wonderful album. It is personal, senitive, and caring. I love to here Sturgill sing, and wish had found him earlier. I thsnk wnku for playing local artists. I lived in Jackson Ky. And know how sad the drugs have made so many hometowns. Keep singing you are great. carolfaulkner
