Song #2: Say Goodnight (1974)



We'll say good night - "good night"

We'll meet again in our dreams

Keep on lookin', never blind

Always know you're one to find 


And undefined in love

Wherever you go

There's so many places to go

You're not lookin',



Always blind

Are you really the one to find


The homes of our souls (the ends of our dreams)

And the places to go?


Say good night - "good night"

We'll meet again in our dreams
