I Don't Want To Say Goodnight

(album: The Answer - 1992)

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
