It started out in spring, like many things good

And we laughed and played just like we should

The nights were feeling long; so far our apart our visits seemed

Though I secretly loved night, my chance to see you in my dreams

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Summer turned to fall and we didn't notice at all

And even as the leaves faded, from vibrant green

Our hearts, yours and mine, had yet to be seen

After all,

Goodnight is just Goodbye

With better dreams

And your hand fit perfectly in mine, left and right

You always did let me be right

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Fall turned to winter and we just passed right on through

Cold as ever outside, but like a movie,

I was warm with you

Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight

And winter will turn to spring, not long from now

And we'll look back and smile, and never wonder how

Because everything is perfect, when I'm with you

And every single day I live feels brand-new

I hate to say goodnight, but I know my dreams will be fine

Because every night is perfect, when you're on my mind

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
