| Standing on the edge of night |
| The crowds have all gone home |
| We both know when darkness falls |
| We’ll be here on our own |
| There comes a time when silence speaks your mind |
| And now I realise what I’m not saying |
| Oh I don’t want to say goodnight |
| And I want to get this right |
| Cause there’s nothing good about goodbye |
| I don’t want to say goodnight |
| There’s something I can’t find |
| Cause when all is said and done |
| I don’t want to say goodnight |
| So many times the words get in the way |
| And now just listen to what I’m not saying |
| Oh I don’t want to say goodnight |
| And I want to get this right |
| Cause there’s nothing good about goodbye |
| I don’t want to say goodnight |
| There’s something I can’t find |
| Cause when all is said and done |
| I don’t want to say goodnight |
| This ship will be sailing |
| Yes we’ll be staying |
| Oh what were not saying tonight |
| All the sweetest, all the deepest |
| Words on high |
| Oh I don’t want to say goodnight |
| And I want to get this right |
| Cause there’s nothing good about goodbye |
| I don’t want to say goodnight |
| There’s something I can’t find |
| Cause when all is said and done |
| I don’t want to say goodnight |
