Farewell and Goodnight Lyrics

[Verse 1: Billy Corgan]
Goodnight, to every little hour that you
Sleep tight, may it hold you through the winter of a
Long night, and keep you from the loneliness
Of yourself

[Verse 2: James Iha]
Heart strung, is your heart frayed and empty 'cause it's
Hard luck, when no one understands your love, it's
Unsung, and I say

[Chorus: All]
Goodnight, my love
To every hour in every day
Goodnight, always
To all that's pure that's in your heart

[Verse 3: Jimmy Chamberlin & D'arcy Wretzky]
Goodnight, may your dreams be so happy and your
Head light with wishes of a Sandman and a
Night light, be careful not to let the bedbugs
Sleep tight nestled in the covers

[Bridge 1: Jimmy Chamberlin & D'arcy Wretzky, All]
The sun shines, but I don't
A silver rain will wash away
The sun shines, but I don't
A silver rain will wash away

[Bridge 2: Billy Corgan]
And you can tell, it's just as well
And you can tell, it's just as well

[Chorus: All]
Goodnight, my love
To every hour in every day
Goodnight, always
To all that's pure that's in your heart

[Instrumental Outro]
