Goodnight sweet child, close your eyes Maybe tomorrows shine will treat you kind Purity won't last when placed in the world Now lie down and don't flatten your curl Sweet child with those rosy cheeks Don't grow tall, you make grow too tall Don't practice your verbs, you may someday commit them Don't wish to grow older, some wishes come true Sweet child, escape to your fairytales where happiness is eternal Sing songs of love and your lord in heaven Squeal passionately in utter delight Weep only of your fallen ice cream cone Sweet child keep your voice high and your chin smooth Keep your face sticky and your feet bare Keep the smile in your eye and the dimples in your cheeks Don't let it fade away Close your eyes sweet child, don't run to the world out there Where words are said that you'd never want to hear Where hearts are broken with pain you can't fear Where crimes are committed in ways more than unfair Where screams echo in utter despair Where torture is a pass-time and killing a career Goodnight sweet child, close your eyes Perserve your innocence with all of your might
