sweet suzanne

james mcmurtry

now

right now

look at the place i' m in

when i think about things that i could have done

it's impossible for me to pretend. but i see it now as the lights grow dim

and the world starts to close its eyes. i just wanted to say goodnight

sweet suzanne. i hear the music playin'

but i no longer understand

around the corner

down the street

it's got to be better than where i am. i see it all now

as the light grows dim

and the world starts to close its eyes. i just wanted to say goodnight

sweet suzanne. i just wanted to say goodnight

just wanted to see if everything was all right

just wanted to say goodnight

sweet suzanne. time goes by

oh

so quietly

hazy days and memories

and in the end there was only me. wouldn't have been

i ask sometimes

but i see myself inside this rhyme. enjoyed what i had back then

would i do it again?

well

i see it now

as the lights grow dim

i just wanted to say goodnight

sweet suzanne. i just wanted to say goodnight

i just wanted to see if everything's all right

just wanted to say goodnight

sweet suzanne. i just wanted to say goodnight

i just wanted to see if everything' s all right

i just wanted to say goodnight

sweet suzanne.
