Emmylou Harris - Goodnight Old World lyrics

rate me

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 so I greet a new day

With the eyes of a child at 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

You fell from the Heavens right into this sad place

Remembering God for a while in your dreams

And you look to me now so I greet a new day

With the eyes of a child at 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
