“Goodnight, goodnight, until we meet again Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Weidersehn ‘til then And though it’s always sweet sorrow to part. You know you’ll always remain in my heart. Goodnight, sleep tight, and pleasant dreams to you Here’s a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true. And now ‘til we meet again Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Weidersehn.”
