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 realize what I'm not saying

Oh, I don't want to say goodnight

And I want to get this right

But there's nothing good about goodbye

Oh, I, I don't want to say goodnight

And it's something I can't fight

Cause when all is said and done

I don't want to say goodnight

I'm not good at telling you

What's going on inside

Won't you take a closer look

And read between the lines

So many times, the words get in the way

Oh, no! Just listen to what I'm not saying

Oh, I don't want to say goodnight

And I want to get this right

But there's nothing good about goodbye

Oh, I, I don't want to say goodnight

And it's something I can't fight

Cause when all is said and done

I don't want to say goodnight

The daylight is fading

Oh...Our ship will be sailing

Oh, what we're not saying tonight

All the sweetest, all the deepest

Words not heard

Oh, I, I don't want to say goodnight (don't want to say...goodnight)

And I want to get this right

(Don't want to say goodnight...) But there's nothing good about goodbye

Oh, I, I don't want to say goodnight

And I want to get this right

But there's nothing good about goodbye

Oh, I, I don't want to say goodnight

And it's something I can't fight

Cause the darkness never seemed so bright, oh-whoa

Don't want to say goodnight

Don't want to say goodnight!

I don't want to say goodnight

And it's something I can't fight

Cause the darkness never seemed so bright, oh-whoa

I don't want to say goodnight

And I want to get this right

But there's nothing good about goodbye

Oh, I, I don't want to say goodnight...
