Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My lovely woman child
I found you out running wild with someone new
You've been untrue
And everybody knows we're through
[Verse 2]
But I can't say goodbye to you
No matter what you do
My heart won't let you go
Although I know you go with someone new
I think of you
[Verse 3]
I think of how you kiss
Your tenderness
With all of this
I miss the way you say goodnight
[Verse 4]
Bittersweet, your kisses
When my heart still misses
The way that things used to be
But I know you're strong for
Other arms you long for
And you can never come back to me
[Verse 5]
Not just for yesterday
Tonight or tomorrow
Ah, but forever I'll hear you say goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight turned out to be a lie
And I can't help it if I cry
Goodnight, my love
Sleep tight, my love
Goodnight
