Goodnight Marianne dream softly while you can
Loneliness from in your heart will break free to your mind
Goodnight Marianne only god knows what you’re dreaming
Maybe something good about little things you didn’t know
Things you can not hide

Goodnight Marianne lay down softly in my arms I hold you tight
Till morning comes you’ve still got all night

CHOROUS:

Dream softly dream softly I’ll wipe away the tears you cry
Don’t fall apart I’ll save your heart I’ll never say goodbye
Dream softly dream softly I’ll pray to God he holds you tight
Sweet Marianne goodnight 
Now you sleep while I cry, I took away your tears
Don’t worry if your dream is bad I’ll take away your fears
You’re safe here in my arms and God will keep you warm
I whisper sweet words in your ears only God knows what I tell you now
The words you can not hear
I pray to him to be your man then you turn to me I feel your breath
Sweet Marianne dream softly while you can 

CHOROUS:

 Dream softly dream softly I’ll wipe away the tears you cry
Don’t fall apart I’ll save your heart I’ll never say goodbye
Dream softly dream softly I’ll pray to God he holds you tight
Sweet Marianne goodnight
