I Don’t Want to Say Goodnight

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
There comes a time when silence speaks your mind
And now, I realize what I'm not saying

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I'm not good at telling you
What's going on inside
Won't you take a closer look
And read between the lines

[Pre-Chorus]
So many times, the words get in the way
Oh, no! Just listen to what I'm not saying

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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...
