Lyrics
Close your eyes, close the door (note 1)
You don't have to worry any more
I'll be your baby tonight
Shut the light, shut the shade (note 2)
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 (note 3)
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
