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
