Goodnight, Wherever You Are Lyrics

[Intro]
And from all of us at home
It is Vera Lynn saying "Goodnight, boys
Wherever you are, and God bless you"

[Verse 1]
Goodnight, wherever you are
May your dreams be pleasant dreams wherever you are
If only one little wish that I wish comes true
I know that the angels will watch over you

[Verse 2]
Goodnight, wherever you are
I'll be with you, dear, no matter how near or far
With all my heart I pray everything is all right
Wherever you are, goodnight

[Outro]
Goodnight

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
