About this song

For little boys that need to go to sleep after a very long days of asking "Why?"

Lyrics

The Hot Wheels are sleeping in a pile on the floor
Spikey and Mimi are leaning on the door
The trampoline is quiet, the jumping's done for now
The moon is up, the stars are out, and you're wondering how
[Chorus]
[Soft, reassuring]
Goodnight to why, goodnight to how
Goodnight to every question, we don't need them now
The answers will be waiting when the morning comes around
So close your eyes, little guy, and let the world slow down
[Verse 2]
Your cars drove a million miles today across the rug
Fluffy and Flopsy got their goodnight hug
You asked why the moon glows and where the darkness goes
Tomorrow you can ask again—that's just how bedtime goes
[Chorus]
Goodnight to why, goodnight to how
Goodnight to every question, we don't need them now
The answers will be waiting when the morning comes around
So close your eyes, little guy, and let the world slow down
[Bridge]
[Whispered, tender]
Mommy Mimi's watching you
Cinna and Persephone too
Tiffany's already dreaming
Nothing left to do
[Verse 3]
[Very soft, slowing]
The red cars and the blue cars and the fast ones all agree
It's time to park and rest beneath the Christmas tree
And when you wake, they'll all be there, right where you left them last
But now the day is over and the night is here at last
[Outro]
[Hummed or very soft]
Goodnight to why... goodnight to how...
Close your eyes, little guy...
...goodnight for now
