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
