Say Goodnight Instead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't say goodbye, love, just say goodnight
Though I know you'll be gone by morning
I'll wake up, pretend that we're still alright
And next time I'll heed all your warnings
'Cause we got a beautiful thing
A thing that's not easy to find
So don't say goodbye, love, say goodnight
And we'll save goodbye for when it dies
'Cause I want to go to bed dreaming that we are still happy
You'll read me the paper, I'll pour you some coffee
Go to bed dreaming that we are still happy instead
I'll plant all the daisies you gave to me
Here in this ground we've been sharing
Oh, what a shame, what a pity it'd be
If our petals fell before their's did
'Cause we got a beautiful thing
A thing that's not easy to find
So don't say goodbye love, say goodnight
And we'll save goodbye for when it dies
Oh, we'll save goodbye for when it dies
I want to go to bed dreaming that we are still happy
We'll make our bed early and drink all our coffee
Wave at the neighbors and work
Our bones until the Sun goes down
I'm gonna go to bed dreaming
That you are still happy
That I'm still the girl that you loved from that party
We'll go to bed early, just set the coffee
And say goodnight instead
Oh, just say goodnight instead
Oh, just say goodnight instead
Say goodnight instead
It's been so long since I felt you burning
So long since I've felt your heat
So long since I've felt you burn for me
So long since I've felt your heat
So don't say it
No, don't say it
Don't say it
Just say goodnight instead
