"Red Sails in the Sunset"--- Fare thee well for the night

Red sails in the sunset Way out on the sea, Oh, carry my loved one Home safely to me
She sailed at the dawning All day I've been blue Red sails in the sunset I'm trusting in you
excerpt from the Platters
^{Songwriters: Wilhelm Grosz / Jimmy Kennedy}

Red sunlight reflecting off the sea, sailboat, its sails reefed,
Silhouetted against the sky. Calm now, serene and placid
Thoughts fill my mind, as I contemplate the blessings
I have been given. With gratitude and appreciation,
I go to my rest, knowing how much my life is filled.
So much that many others don’t have, for which
They might have killed. I will try to make life
Better, I will be a better man. We each and
Everyone of us, needs a place to stand.
Red are the dying embers, the sun
Has gone to bed. Red sometimes
Shows anger; don’t take that
With you as you go to your
Bed. Be watchful, seek
Wisdom, and share.
