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.
Goodnight goodbye
Goodnight, good luck, goodnight, goodbye
Won't you try to talk to me?
I'll be there to follow you down
It's getting dark and I can't see
I'll be there to follow you down
Won't you try to hear my voice?
I'll be there to follow you down
Too late for me 'cause you've made your choice
I'll be there to follow you down
So if it's true when they say
That true love never dies, I agree
In fact it always comes back
This I know 'cause it's still killing me
Goodnight goodbye
Once I loved a girl I knew
I would always follow you 'round
Until she broke my heart in two
Always there to follow you down
I cried and cried but I never knew
I'll be there to follow you down
The truth this day, I'd still think of you
Always there to follow me 'round
And when I tried to remember the good times
When we were both young
It just reminds me that you were a sad song of love
Never sung
Goodnight goodbye
Goodnight, good luck, goodnight, goodbye
Goodnight goodbye
Goodnight, good luck, goodnight, goodbye
Once I heard you call my name
I woke up and followed the sound
Everything was still the same
I'll be there to follow you down
Because I don't want to live
If you never forgive things I've done
And if it means anything
You should know that you are still the one
Goodnight goodbye
Goodnight, good luck, goodnight, goodbye
Goodnight goodbye
Goodnight, good luck, goodnight, goodbye
Goodnight goodbye
Won't you try to call my name?
I'll breath air to follow the sound
'Cause everyday is filled with rain
I'll be there to follow you down
So if it's true when they say
That true love never dies, I agree
In fact it always comes back
This I know 'cause it's still killing me
Goodnight goodbye
Goodnight, good luck, goodnight, goodbye
Goodnight goodbye
Goodnight, good luck, goodnight, goodbye
Goodnight goodbye
