It's almost sunrise hours and hours gone by
Candles all burned down turned into morning light
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't 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 has come and gone
Why can't I, why can't I say goodnight?

I'm using up all my strength 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
Than right here in your arms with your head lying on me
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't I, why can't I say goodnight?

Darlin', why can't I say goodnight?...
