GOODNIGHT

 From 1976 for the next sixteen years, I quit recording to concentrate on being a
 mommy and an artist. I did very few concerts, mostly on Reserves or big splendid
 things in Europe for UNICEF, and got into home recording. I heard Cliff
 Eberhart's beautiful "Goodnight" sung by The Modern Folk Quartet. In 1991,
 with my son grown up, I was invited by Ensign Records to re-enter professional
 recording, and with Chris Birkett as my co-producer, made Coincidence and
 Likely Stories, mostly at home with my Macintosh computer which had been my
 constant companion since 1984. I sang and played "Goodnight" right into the
 Mac. It's my favourite song.


 Sleepless nights don't bother me at all
 If dawn comes I don't worry
 Something deep inside keeps me awake
 I wish that you were here right beside me

 I recall when I was very young
 and could not go to sleep
 My father sang me songs to make me tired
 But memories don't make it easier so

 Goodnight
 wherever you are sleeping
 and I hope that if you dream
 you dream of me.
 Oh goodnight
 wherever you are sleeping
 and I hope that if you dream
 you dream of me

 Now I lie awake and it's no fun
 tossing and turning
 I'd call you if it weren't so very late
 but telephones don't bring you close to me

 I recall the times we stayed up late
 Wide awake but still dreaming
 There was nothing on this earth could make me tired
 but memories don't make it easier so

 Goodnight
 wherever you are sleeping
 and I hope that if you dream
 you dream of me.
 Goodnight
 wherever you are sleeping
 and I hope that if you dream
 you dream of me...
