Goodnight, My Love - The Happenings

Goodnight my love

Bless your heart and sleep tight my love

Goodnight

Never thought that I’d

Ever want to be leaving you

You’re the dearest girl I’ve known

And there’s nothing that I own

That I wouldn’t want to give to you

But late last night after we kissed goodnight

And I started home

I met a girl so sweet and caring

And so very alone

And then I gazed into her eyes

And knew how much she wanted me

And her lips were just as soft as could be

Goodnight my love

Bless your heart and sleep tight my love

Goodnight

No tears that I could cry

Would justify my hurting you

And my words would sound so cheap

If I said that I meant to keep

All the promises I made to you

I tried to tell her that I loved you

But she just didn’t care

And in the dead of night she pulled the ribbon

Out of her hair

And there was nothing in the world

That could have made me let her go

Girl I’m sorry but I just love her so

Goodnight my love

Goodnight my love

Sleep tight my love

Goodnight my love

It’s so hard to say goodbye to you

The words they don’t sound right

So I’ll say the only words I used to say

When I held you so tight

Goodnight my love

Goodnight my love

Sleep tight my love

Goodnight my love
