TIME TO SAY GOODNIGHT

It's time to say goodnight
The day is almost done
Hello to Mr. Moon
Goodbye Mr. Sun

Let Mr. Sun shine
On distant shores
May the world turn
A little more green
May children who
Are not yet born
Live to breathe
Air that's clean

Mr. Moon moves
The seas around
And makes all life
Continue on
Let Gods' creatures
All abound
From the toads
To the graceful fawn

Please answer
Every human need
Children grow up
Much too fast
Heal the broken
Heart that bleeds
And may the time
Of wonder last
