Lyrics

Let’s sing tonight the roses of the dawn
Await the first light of the night’s bright stars
That will help us sleep along the way

So we’ll sing a soft melody beneath the skies
And with the morning sweet dew we’ll sing a
Friendly dear last goodbye

[Chorus]
Good night dear ladies
I will never chance to know
Good night my dear friend
I should have met long ago

As the sun must sleep, so must I
But first sing me a sweet lullaby
I used to hear in my mom’s arms

Chorus
Break

As the night falls, fate beckons calls
I fear I will not see you again
I fear I won’t see you again
Good night friend
Good night friend

About the song / Musicians

@1980’s – sometime after watching a WW1 documentary about soldiers in the trenches, I wanted to try and capture the feeling of waiting for the morning to come, and the comradeship of the soldiers – who might not see each other again once fighting resumed after the night.
