Intro:                It's almost sunrise
                 Hours and hours gone by
                 Candles are burned down
                      Turned into morning light
                               The time to go [bad word] and gone
          F-                 Why can't I--I? Why can't I say goodnight?

                      The whole world is sleeping
                   And still I can't give in
              It's a love story
             I never want to end
                               The time to go [bad word] and gone
          F-                Why can't I--I? Why can't I say goodnight?

                               I'm using up all my strength
                          
I can't tear myself away
                    It only gets harder as 
               night turns to day

              There isn't one place
                   Honey, that I'd rather be
                       
Then Right here in your arms
                    With your head lying on me

                               The time to go [bad word] and gone
          F-                 Why can't I--I? Why can't I say goodnight?
                        Darling why can't I say goodnight?
