Notes

A cool, slow, easy summertime dance for the Baltimore Folk Music Society stalwarts who dance in un-air-conditioned splendor all summer long

Words (by Sharon McKinley), for those who like to sing :
Goodnight moon, and goodnight stars
Goodnight, friends, where'er you are
Sunset comes, the dark is nigh,
And so, my friends, we say goodbye.
Do not fear that we must part
For I hold you in my heart.
So to bed; sweet dreams, sleep tight,
And to all we say goodnight.
