Goodnight Kiss

Living in another world
singing a different song.
Keeps me away from you
it’s been for far too long.

So I’ll take the early plane
to get back home tonight.
I can’t get to sleep anymore
if I can’t kiss you goodnight.

Never wanted to go away
but I just thought I should. 
Doing things, the best I can
to bring about some good.

I need to be home again
singing a familiar song.
Knowing I am with you 
back where I belong.

I’m taking the early plane
to be home with you tonight.
Knowing we’ll be together
and I can kiss you goodnight.

Yes, the ryhming needs a bit of extra attention. You don't always see it yourself and need it pointing out. Thank you. Tim

This is an endearing piece unto the heart, and I could quite clearly feel your longing; the emotion was well-expressed. Some of your rhymes need some tightening and polishing, but these little imperfections do not detract from its simplicity and beauty. Kudos! ;)
