The night is friendly The stars are winkin’ My sleepy-headed baby’s eyes are blinkin’ I hold him in my arms and sit here thinking Lordy! What a sweet world
The night is friendly With voices croonin’ And gals and fellows in the shadows spoonin’ And clouds that open up to let the moon in Lordy! What a sweet world
Now, I ain’t callin’ this life perfect But I am thanking my maker above Because for everything That you don’t like There’s a million little things that you love, ooh
A bell is chimin’ To toll the hour The sky is dripping light on every livin’ flower It like to drown us in a silver shower Lordy! What a sweet world
I’m so happy Happy! Happy to be livin’ Yes sir! Livin’ on a friendly night On a friendly night In a friendly world In a friendly world My heart is happy Thanks to the Lord!
