I Wish We Didn't
Have To Say Goodnight
I wish we didn't have to say goodnight
I wish that I could stay and hold you
tight
I wish, I wish, I wish, by every star
above
That we could linger long enough to
fall in love!
I hate to be the one to break away
When I've a heart that you could take
away
I hate to miss the kisses that your
lips invite
I wish we didn't have to say
goodnight!
Look at that moon, beamin' out loud
He knows that I'm dreamin' out loud
He sort of seems to say the time is
right
I wish we didn't have to say
goodnight!
I wish we didn't have to say
goodnight!
< instrumental break >
Look at that moon, beamin' out loud
He knows that I'm dreamin' out loud
He sort of seems to say the time is
right
I wish we didn't have to say goodnight
. . . hmmm
I wish we didn't have to say
goodnight!
