Don’t Say Goodnight

Fifteen years come December

We were so young; do you still remember

When I fell in love with you

And like an older brother would do

I’d keep tellin’ you things like

Don’t go walkin’ past midnight

Don’t wear those sweaters that fit so tight

Unless you’re alone here with me

That’s the way I always want it to be

Don’t say goodnight

You know I never want to let you go

Don’t say goodnight

Oh baby, hold me close and don’t say no

One more hour, if we could

You make me feel so good

Say it’s all right

Darlin’, don’t say goodnight

Your daddy said he’d disown you

He’d get so nervous every time I’d ‘phone you

I tried to make him understand

You were a woman then, and I was your man

I’d be tellin’ him things like

I swear that I’ll always love her

I’ll break my back to keep a roof above her

Then he’d say it’s time for you to go in

Oh baby, I’d just want to kiss you again

Don’t say goodnight

You know I never want to let you go

Don’t say goodnight

Oh baby, hold me close and don’t say no

One more hour, if we could

You make me feel so good

Say it’s all right

Darlin’, don’t say goodnight

Say it’s alright

Darlin’, don’t say goodnight

Say it’s alright

Darlin’, don’t say goodnight…

Say it’s alright

Darlin’, don’t say goodnight
