[bad word] closer to me, babe,
And the night [bad word] much closer, too.
Can't you see the light
Drawing pictures nearer in the skies?

What is it that you whisper
When you close your eyes? [bad word] closer to me, babe.
Is it me it's all about?
And who is it that you're always
Calling in your sleep?
Who is Sylvia?

Goodnight, baby. Please [bad word] on home, [bad word] on home, [bad word] on home soon.

Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby.
 [bad word] closer to me now,
For I know there's something you must tell me.
When slumber slips between your lips
Will the secrets ooze out easily?

What is it that you whisper
When you close your eyes? [bad word] closer to me, babe.
Is it me it's all about?
And who is it that you're always
Calling in your sleep?
Who is Sylvia?

Goodnight, baby. Please [bad word] on home, [bad word] on home, [bad word] on home soon.

Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby.
