Goodnight Eileen

words and music By charlie ranucci

Swept away from the pages of your life
There wasn't anything anyone could do for you
It's a shame they say even when your living right
Still the story ends it's time to go on home

Cause' one by one, one by one, we're called into the light
Yes one by one, one by one, we're called

Goodnight Eileen, goodnight, don't let the angels crowd your light
Goodnight Eileen, goodnight, goodnight

You know she told me once, that life can be a funny thing
Never knowing what tomorrow will bring
And on that afternoon, when she turned to me and smiled
I knew that everything was going to be all right

Cause' one by one, one by one, we're called

Goodnight Eileen, goodnight, don't let the angel crowd your light
Goodnight Eileen, goodnight, goodnight

She was such a special one, with the beauty of a setting sun
I remember her laughter it plays like a song in my head that won't go away
Hope to see you in my dreams, fly to places never seen
Listening to your favorite tunes, while we sit on the edge of the crescent moon tonight

Swept away, from the pages of your life
There wasn't anything that we could do for you
Though we prayed and prayed, you were called into the light
So bright

Goodnight Eileen, goodnight, time to start your brand new life
Goodnight Eileen, goodnight, goodnight,
goodnight

Goodnight
