Golden Slumbers
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)

Once there was a way to get back home again
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep little darlings do not cry
I want to sing for you a lullaby

I Don’t Want The Night To End
(Phoebe Snow)

Oh mommy mommy
Oh mommy mommy
I stood too near the gaslight
And I cried
The dirty city mist
Had seeped too deep inside
It took me on some kind
Of heady ride
They told me Charlie Parker died

And I don’t want
I, I don’t want
I don’t want the night to end

Oh, daddy, daddy
Oh, daddy, daddy
Wasting half my life
On platforms underground
The other half I’m spending
As a desperate clown
My problem now is that
You’re nowhere to be found
In dark delicious dreams
Of you I’ll drown

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-hi
Oh, daddy
Oh, daddy
Ooooooooh
Oh, daddy
Oh, daddy
I don’t want the night to end

Oh, baby, baby
Ohhhhh, my sweet baby
Wrapped around your soul
Is where I want to be
But in the night, blue music
All my eyes can see
Junkies in the rain
Down on their knees
Tell me, what’s to become
Of you and me

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Don’t let it be, don’t let it be over
No, no, don’t let it be, don’t let it be
I don’t want the night to end
I don’t want the night to end
I don’t want the night to end
Mmmm, say it again, now
I don’t want, don’t want the night to end

Don’t let it be, don’t let it be
Don’t let it be over
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I don’t want it to be over
Baby, I’m a soul to lend
I’m all, all alone
I don’t want the night to end
Oh, mommy, mommy, I am falling
