A Kiss Goodnight

A kiss goodnight, my love,
as we blow out the romantic candle light,
as we turn down the lamplight,
as the wind whistles outside our window,
let us kiss goodnight.

A kiss goodnight, my love,
a kiss goodnight is all I ask for,
we shall lay together
and we shall dream together,
your soft lips kiss my lips,
and your arm lay across my chest;
you can feel my heart beat,
it beats for you, my love.

A kiss goodnight, my love,
for tomorrow will be anew,
and I shall pick hundreds of spring roses for you,
and in comparison to a sweet spring rose,
you shall be more beautiful than ever,
even if a thousand spring roses put into one giant spring rose,
there shall be no comparison.

A kiss goodnight, my love,
for tomorrow shall bring rain or shine,
tomorrow you shall be carried in my arms,
through beautiful gardens of roses and lilacs.
Tomorrow I shall kiss you a thousand times over,
and a thousand times over I shall love you.
For tomorrow shall bring a thousand kisses,
but tonight there shall only be one.

A kiss goodnight, my love,
a final kiss to seal of todays' adventures,
of wondrous times and loving affairs.
A kiss goodnight, my love,
and we shall go to bed and dream a thousand times over,
and dream a thousand dreams over we shall live,
with only one kiss goodnight.
