Goodnight Sweetheart - Jill Barber

Goodnight sweetheart

I’m gonna sleep

Sleep in your arms

Until morning creeps

'Cause tonight, sweetheart

The last time I’ll hear

You whisper softly

Goodnight in my ear

And by the time I wake

You’ll be long gone on your way

And I won’t have to say

Anything

'Cause one your love, sweetheart

Slipped out like a sigh

But lately you think twice

Why you bother to try

I think we both know

That you’ve made up your mind

So just say the words

Please don’t try to be kind

And now my eyes are closed and tired

Our love is out of my sight

And you’ll stay with me all through the night

And if I should see you

When I’m old and I’m gray

You’ve long since forgotten

Even my name

I may recall a dream

From a time long before

Where you were my sweetheart

But now nevermore
