Lyrics

GOODNIGHT 'TIL THEN

verse 1
Late late night, telephone ring
I hate that sound, I'm always scared of what it means
Across a long-distance hum a
family voice is saying,
"We need you to come home"

I rush to pack my clothes, I rush to catch a plane
Red-eye flight, take me back from where I came
Stare out the window at the dark night
Somewhere up ahead we'll make the lights of home

chorus
Goodnight Mother, angels sing you to your rest
I know you're up there watching a ball game
And smoking those cigarettes
When my time comes I know I'll see you again
Goodnight 'til then

verse 3
The preacher reads a poem, we sing her favorite hymn
I draw so much comfort from the faces of her friends
Her love I depended on
I still can feel it even though she's gone from home

chorus
Goodnight Mother, angels sing you to your rest
I know you're up there watching a ball game
And smoking those cigarettes
When my time comes I know I'll see you again
Goodnight 'til then

chorus/tag
Goodnight Mother, angels sing you to your rest
Goodnight Mother, angels sing you to your rest
Goodnight Mother
