good night soccer

by michael dahl

[Applause]

beneath the pink clouds and a sunset of

gold

the stadium's packed

every seat

has been sold

the crowd is excited

we're all chanting and singing

we wave our bright scarves

and the stadiums ringing

our team

wins the toss

here's the kick

from our foes

the ball leaves the circle now watch

where it goes

[Applause]

dribbling and passing

our forwards move fast

then our strikers zoom in when the

defense is passed

[Applause]

soon a kick and a goal

we jump and we roar

[Applause]

but the other team rushes

and captures a score

through the game the ball flies

watch it bounce

watch it bend

the clock keeps on ticking

oh

how will it end

then a penalty kick

somehow slips through a

hole hits the back of the net

it's a last second

[Applause]

now over the scoreboard

we see stars in the sky

too soon the game's over

too soon for goodbyes

[Music]

good night captains

your teams are the best

good night to you coaches

now your players can rest

goodnight infielders

goodnight strikers and backs

goodnight goalkeepers

now it's time to relax

[Music]

good night net

good night to ball

to the fans in their jerseys good night

to you all

[Music]

good night field where our team was the

winner

[Music]

good night bright lights

getting smaller

growing dimmer

good night to my heroes

my champion

team

goodnight soccer

hello

dreams

excellent job readers

the

end

[Music]

[Music]

you
