there's a whisper on a breeze today

a voice i've heard before

on the breath of memories passing

from so many i've adored

to know the touch of wonder and embrace

sweet sentiment

longing for a heart that knows content

the hills light up each evening

with a glow of subtle red

each and every breath is filled with words not yet said

if ever peace flows through this place

with a longing to inhale

the winds that seem to guide our weary sails

i only want for one thing one thing is you

i've wandered down lonely road

searching for something true

i say goodnight my darling

and i hope you'll understand

tonight i go to sleep a happy man

a candle is but wax and wicked

till it meets a flame

and so it goes with each of us

just bags of bones with names

with roots of joy and harmony

i'll dance into the moon

knowing that our time to shine is soon

i only want for one thing and that one thing is you

i've wandered down lonely road

searching for something true

i say goodnight my darling

and i hope you'll understand

tonight i go to sleep a happy man

there's a place where spring comes early

and setting sun hangs low

on the plains of journey's long

but got by things we'll never know

and in the morning hours of hopeful eyes

many moments lie ahead

to fill our buckets full of blues and reds

i only want for one thing

that one thing is you

i wander down lonely road

searching for something true

i say goodnight my darling

and i hope you'll understand

tonight i go to sleep a happy man

say goodnight my darling

and i hope you'll understand

tonight i go to sleep a happy man
