Goodnight Moon Lyrics

Goodnight moon, goodnight stars
Goodnight old broke down cars
I’m going away, I’m leaving soon
Goodnight darlin’
Goodnight moon
I don’t know where I’ll be
And I don’t know if I’ll see
Out the window of my room
Shining down
Goodnight moon
Thank you I’m gonna miss you
When the night comes round
That’s when I long to kiss you
When the moon shining on the ground
Goodnight moon, goodnight stars
Goodnight old broke down cars
I’m going away, I’m leaving soon
Goodnight darlin’
Goodnight moon

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

First of all Jack Ingram is amazing and this is his best song. This song is about leaving someone, but not in a sad way. He knows that it's the best even though he'll still miss her. It's kind of a moving on even though my heart is still with you kind of song. The instrumentals in this song are great and add so much to the lyrics.
