(lyric for an old time song)

Say goodnight to all the sailors

and to all the ships at sea.

Fare you well and may breezes guide you in.

Say so long to the leaving geese

and people up in planes.

Fare you well and may sunlight warm your wings.

Well it’s a long, long way from over here to over there,

Such a wide, wide ocean in between.

And I’ll miss you till I see you

So keep safe till you return.

Fare you well, buenos noches, fare you well.

Au revoir to the satellites and rockets way out there.

Adios, as you travel through the night.

Gute nacht all you freight trains

and truckers on the road.

Fare you well, and may all your loads be light.

It’s such a long, long way from over here to over there.

Such a great sky, far as I can see.

And you’re sleeping while I sing this

So I wish for you sweet dreams.

Fare you well, sayonara, fare you well.
