Good Night Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now it's time to say good night
Good night, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night, sleep tight
[Bridge]
Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet)
Dream sweet dreams for you (Dream sweet dreams)
[Verse 2]
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night, sleep tight
[Bridge]
Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet)
Dream sweet dreams for you (Dream sweet dreams)
[Instrumental bridge]
Mmm
[Verse 2]
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night, sleep tight
Now it's time to say good night
Good night, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night, sleep tight
[Bridge]
Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet)
Dream sweet dreams for you (Dream sweet dreams)
[Verse 2]
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night, sleep tight
[Bridge]
Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet)
Dream sweet dreams for you (Dream sweet dreams)
[Instrumental bridge]
Mmm
[Verse 2]
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night, sleep tight
[Bridge]
Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet)
Dream sweet dreams for you (Dream sweet dreams)
[Outro]
Good night
Good night, everybody
Everybody, everywhere
Good night
Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet)
Dream sweet dreams for you (Dream sweet dreams)
[Outro]
Good night
Good night, everybody
Everybody, everywhere
Good night

Genius Annotation
This tender closing song from The White Album was written by John Lennon as a lullaby for his son Julian, and sung by Ringo Starr.
No other Beatles appear on the recording. Instead, a lavish orchestral arrangement was scored by George Martin, transporting listeners to a heavenly dreamscape.
