We Bid You Goodnight
(in memoriam Adrian Henri)

| arranged by Andy Roberts |

Lay down, dear brother, lay down and take your rest;
I want to lay your head upon your saviour's breast.
Well I love you so, but Jesus loves you the best,
And we bid you good night, good night,
We bid you good night.

I remember those nights at the Liverpool Cavern;
Good night, good night.
The poetry shows at O'Connors Tavern;
Good night, good night.
Love is you and love is me;
Good night, good night.
You got stung twice by a honey bee;
Good night, good night.
You were as soft as silk, and as loud as war;
Good night good night.
Now you're a harbour bell from a distant shore.
Good night good night.

Lay down, dearest brother, lay down and take your rest;
I want to lay your head upon your saviour's breast.
Well I love you so, but Jesus loves you the best,
And we bid you good night, good night,
Sweet Adrian, good night.
