Goodnight, Goodnight
I just hope that you understand.
Things did not go the way I planned.
I waited all day and all night.
Just to see you and make things right.
But the light in your heart went out.
With my guitar, I played for you.
Through song, I proved my love was true.
I wrote to you every day.
Hoping that you were still okay.
But the light in your heart went out.
I’ll be strong, but I can’t be sure;
Despite all, my love is still pure.
I ache when I see you this way,
Searching the heart for words to say.
But the light in your heart went out.
