GOOD NIGHT SOLDIER
(Harry Johnson)

Patsy Montana & Her Pardners - Recorded April 10th 1944
Judy Canova - Recorded October 9th 1944



Dusky shadows come to hide you
Twilight steals the day
Where you are, I'm there beside you
Though you're far away

Good night soldier, wherever you may be
My heart's lonely without you
Good night soldier, taps or reveille
Finds me dreaming about you

Someday skies will change to blue
Smiles will lighten sorrow **
Good night soldier, angels walk with you
Keep you through each tomorrow

(Instrumental Break)

Good night soldier, wherever you may be
My heart's lonely without you
Good night soldier, taps or reveille
Finds me dreaming about you

Someday skies will change to blue
Smiles will lighten sorrow **
Good night soldier, angels walk with you
Keep you through each tomorrow
Good Night!


**In the Judy Canova recording, this line
is sung as "Smiles will banish sorrow"
