Goodnight
Joy Hanna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could spend all day here
Holding hands with you my dear
Hearing you say "I love you" in my ear

If my wish could come true
I wish I could steal the moon
So I could share more daylight here with you
You kiss me and I am higher than the sky
Oo oo oo oo oo

I don′t wanna say goodnight
I don't wanna leave your side
I′ll be missing you while I drive
Can we stay here together?
Will you hold me forever?
Cause I don't wanna say goodnight to you

I'm in love, it′s surreal
Do you know how I feel?
All of my worries seem to disappear
Oh oh oh oh

You look in my eyes
And I ride home on cloud nine
Oo oo oo oo oo

I don′t wanna say goodnight
I don't wanna leave your side
I′ll be missing you while I drive
Can we stay here together?
Will you hold me forever?
Cause I don't wanna say goodnight to you

I wish I could rewind this day so
I could spend it with you again
But alas the sun is gone and
Here we are in each other′s arms
Saying our goodbyes
For the third time tonight

I don't wanna say goodnight
I don′t wanna leave your side
I'll be missing you while I drive
Can we stay here together?
Will you hold me forever?
Cause I don't wanna say goodnight

Now I don′t have to say goodnight
I don′t have to leave your side
I don't have to make those late night drives
Oh no
We can stay here together
You can hold me forever
Cause I don′t have to say goodnight to you

Say goodnight to you




Say goodnight to you
I don't wanna say goodnight to you
