Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry any more
I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight

Well, that Mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it, you won't regret it

Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight

Kris Kristofferson is a country singer and songwriter from Brownsville, TX, best known for the hits he wrote and recorded in the late 1960s.

Many of Kristofferson’s hits are best known through artists who covered them. Me and Bobby McGee was popularized by Janis Joplin, For The Good Times by Ray Price, and Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down by Johnny Cash. His 1971 album The Silver Tongued Devil and I was a commercial success. He released a few more albums in the 1970s, but focused more on acting toward the middle and end of the decade.

In the 1980s, he joined with fellow outlaw country superstars Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings to form Highwaymen, whose self-titled debut album was a critical and commercial success.
