Songtexte A Song for the Night - Michael Card

Like a warm woollen blanket, the dark wraps around
As we cuddle together and hear all the sounds
Of the night as it's falling and coming to be
Now, look with your ears, not your eyes, and you'll see

Goodnight to the trees, so majestic and strong
Goodnight to the birds with their wonderful songs
Goodnight to the planets that wander above
Goodnight to a universe, alive with your love

The sounds of the night are the notes of a song
So secret and sacred, so beautifully strong
In the end, there's an echo, a whisper and a prayer
And though he's not seen, still the singer is there

So goodnight to creation, to the bright shining stars
Goodnight to the moon, faithful witness you are
Goodnight to the world as it hurdles through space
Goodnight to the wonder in your shining face

The sounds of the night are the notes of a song
So secret and sacred, so beautifully strong
In the end, there's an echo, a whisper and a prayer
And though he's not seen, still the singer is there

With all that is waiting, the sights and the sounds
Your wondrous world like a merry-go-round
Is it any wonder that's so hard to sleep
While outside you're playing your own hide-and-seek?
