It's almost sunrise
Hours and hours gone by
Candles are burned down

Turned into morning light
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't I, why can't I say goodnight


The whole world is sleeping
And still, I can't give in

It's a love story
I never want to end
The time to go has come and gone

Why can't I, why can't I say goodnight

I'm using up all my strength

I can't tear myself away
It only gets harder as night turns to day


There isn't one place
Honey, that I'd rather be
Than right here in your arms

With your head lying on me
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't I, why can't I say goodnight


Darling, why can't I say goodnight
