Navy blue sky outside my green room
Apple of my eye
Left way too soon
Got the window open
And I can see the sky
Goodnight room
Goodnight moon

Goodnight moon
You're a good night moon
Goodnight moon
Keep shinin' on me
And everyone you see

Night bloomin' jasmine
Is so sweet to me
I'm as sleepy as I ever have been
But I just can't sleep
Everything's so quiet
Guess I'll just close my eyes
For awhile for awhile

Goodnight moon
You're a good night moon
Goodnight moon
Keep shinin' on me
And everyone you see

Hey goodnight to you out there
Goodnight children everywhere
You're a good night moon
See ya real soon
Goodnight room
Goodnight moon

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
