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.
