  A       F#m   D9 
Goodnight, my love 
      E7         A        F#m    D9 
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love 
  E7     F#m      F#m      D9 
May tomorrow be sunny and bright 
         E7   A    F#m  D9  E7 
And bring you closer to me 
 A     F#m  D9 
Before you go 
        E7         A       F#m     D9 
There's just one thing I'd like to know  
      E7         F#m     F#m    D9 
If your love is still warm for me 
  E7        A    F#m F7 C#m7 
Or has it gone cold 
Bridge 
  E        B7       E        B7 
If you should awake in the still of the night 
 E   D   C   E 
Please have no fear 
   E       B7         E    B7 
Just close your eyes, then you'll realize 
   E        B7     E    E9   E    E7 
That my love will watch over you, Dear, always 
   A       F#m  D9 
Goodnight, my love 
      E7          A      F#m    D9 
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love 
 E7       F#m     F#m7+      D9 
May tomorrow be sunny and bright 
        E7    D9   A  D9   A 
And bring you closer to  me
