Beatles songs, Good NightGood Night(John Lennon – John Lennon and Paul McCartney)Albums in which the song is present1968 - The Beatles (White Album)1996 - Anthology 3 RINGO 1968: 'Everybody thinks Paul wrote 'Goodnight' for me to sing, but it was John who wrote it for me. He's got a lot of soul, John has.'PAUL 1968: 'John wrote it, mainly. It's his tune, uhh, which is surprising for John – 'cuz he doesn't normally write this kind of tune. It's a very sweet tune, and Ringo sings it great, I think. The arrangement was done by George Martin, uhh, 'cuz he's very good at that kind of arrangement, you know – very sort of lush, sweet arrangement.'JOHN 1980: ''Good Night' was written for Julian, the way 'Beautiful Boy' was written for Sean… but given to Ringo and possibly overlush.'PAUL circa-1994: 'I think John felt it might not be good for his image for him to sing it, but it was fabulous to hear him do it, he sang it great. We heard him sing it in order to teach it to Ringo and he sang it very tenderly. John rarely showed his tender side, but my key memories of John are when he was tender, that's what has remained with me – those moments where he showed himself to be a very generous, loving person. I always cite that song as an example of the John beneath the surface that we only saw occasionally… I don't think John's version was ever recorded.' Now it's time to say good night Good night, sleep tight Now the sun turns out his light Good night, sleep tight Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet) Dream sweet dreams for youClose your eyes and I'll close mine Good night, sleep tight Now the moon begins to shine Good night, sleep tight Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet) Dream sweet dreams for youMmmmmm Mmmmmm MmmmmmmmmmClose your eyes and I'll close mine Good night, sleep tight Now the sun turns out his light Good night, sleep tight Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet) Dream sweet dreams for youGood night, good night, everybody Everybody everywhere Good night |
