As performed by SHIRLEY TEMPLE and ALICE FAYE
in the 1936 film "Stowaway":


SHIRLEY TEMPLE:
Goodnight, my love
Your Mommy is kneeling beside you
Goodnight, my love
To dreamland the Sandman will guide you
Come now you sleepy head
Close your eyes, go to bed
My precious sleepy head
You mustn't play peek-a-boo

Goodnight, my love
Your little Dutch dolly is yawning
Goodnight, my love
Your teddy bear's called it a day
Your dog is fast asleep, my but he's smart
Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love
God bless you, pleasant dreams, sweetheart

ALICE FAYE:
Goodnight, my love
The tired old moon is descending
Goodnight, my love
My moment with you now is ending
It was so heavenly, holding you close to me
It will be heavenly
To hold you again in a dream

The stars above
Have promised to meet us tomorrow
Till then my love
How dreary the new day will seem
So for the present, dear, we'll have to part
Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love
Remember that your mine, sweetheart


******************


As recorded by DEAN MARTIN:


Goodnight, my love
The tired old moon is descending
Goodnight, my love
My moment with you is now ending

It was so heavenly
Holding you close to me
It will be heavenly
To hold you again in a dream

The stars above
Have promised to meet us tomorrow
Til then, my love
How dreary the new day will seem

So for the present, dear
We'll have to part
Sleep tight, my love
Goodnight, my love
Remember that you're mine, sweetheart

Sleep tight, my love
Goodnight, my love
Remember that you're mine, sweetheart

While you're sleeping
Keep my heart under your pillow
And dream of me
Dream of me
