Lyrics: Jean Shepard. Goodnight Me.

Goodnight me eyes it's closing time I just heard the lonely chime
The sun just caught us wide awake the third time this week
Please won't you mind let's try and get some sleep

I just took a warm bed drank a milk and read half a book
But I still can't put these thoughts of you asleep
I lay staring in the darkness thinking how your mem'ry looks
Counting broken dreams instead of sheep
Goodnight me eyes...

Every night since he left us we go through the same routine

When everybody else's sound asleep
Mind please cut off all those thoughts of telling me he's gone
I shut up and try to get some sleep
Goodnight me eyes...
