@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.

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
