i don't want to say goodnight

standing on the edge of night

the crowds have all gone home

we both know when darkness falls

we'll be here on our own

there comes a time when silence speaks your mind

and now i realise what i'm not saying

oh i don't want to say goodnight

and i want to get this right

cause there's nothing good about goodbye

i don't want to say goodnight

there's something i can't find

'cause when all is said and done

i don't want to say goodnight

so many times the words get in the way

and now just listen to what i'm not saying

oh i don't want to say goodnight

and i want to get this right

cause there's nothing good about goodbye

i don't want to say goodnight

there's something i can't find

'cause when all is said and done

i don't want to say goodnight

this ship will be sailing

yes we'll be staying

oh what were not saying tonight

all the sweetest

all the deepest

words on high

oh i don't want to say goodnight

and i want to get this right

cause there's nothing good about goodbye

i don't want to say goodnight

there's something i can't find

'cause when all is said and done

i don't want to say goodnight
