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
