Written by Rickie's father, Richard Jones, as a lullaby for her Live at the Wiltern Theatre (1992) Don't feel bad

Because the sun went down

The night has wealth untold

You just keep watching

And you soon will see

The moon is made of gold And now the stars appear

And as they do

All heaven they unfold

Don't feel bad

Because the sun went down

The moon is made of gold * (Oh you) See how the shadows

Enhanced by the light above

Dance in the night

As the breeze sigh

Soon you will be asleep

Into your dreams will creep

Visions of fairies

Flyin' through the sky

And one by one

Your dreams will all come true

Magic you behold

Don't feel bad

Because the sun went down

The moon is made of gold (* repeat) The night is magic

And the moon is made of gold
