Kneeled by your bedside
you say your prayers
that I may follow you there
One to Lord Jesus
one to the stars
one to the Virgin so fair
Little Jon is sleeping
little Jon is leaving me now
His angel keeping
an eye on him somehow
Say goodnight to daddy
say goodnight to those
that you love
Wish I could meet you
beyond the Northern Star
And as you're sailing cross your sea
in a boat of light
You can shine to comfort me
through my darkest night
As you're sailing cross your sea
in a boat of light
You can shine to comfort me
through my darkest night
