Emmylou Harris - Goodnight Old World lyrics

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
