The city streets are empty, it's beginning to feel like dawn

The lights have gone out, the sun is coming on

We've been standing here for hours watching the river flow

You walked into my life tonight but if you've got to go



Say goodnight while there's still a star to wish on

Say goodnight while the moon is still in your eyes

Let me touch your smile and hold you for a while

Then say goodnight but never say goodbye



I've been saving all my secrets, spending my time alone

I've given up on the life I used to know

I've been waiting for one person to love me like a friend

You walked into my life tonight but if it's got to end



Say goodnight while there's still a star to wish on

Say goodnight while the moon is still in your eyes

Let me touch your smile and hold you for a while

Then say goodnight but never say goodbye



Oh, it's easy now to tell you how I'm dreaming 'bout tomorrow

Cause you'll be there to share that dream with me

But now it's time to close your eyes put this night away

And keep it safe, a perfect memory



Say goodnight while there's still a star to wish on

Say goodnight while the moon is still in your eyes

Let me touch your smile and hold you for a while

Then say goodnight but never say goodbye



Oh, oh, oh

Let me touch your smile and hold you for a little while

Then say goodnight but never say goodbye



Say goodnight while there's still a star to wish on

Say goodnight while the moon is still in your eyes

Let me touch your smile and hold you for a while

Then say goodnight but don't you say goodbye



Say goodnight while there's still a star to wish on

Say goodnight while the moon is still in your eyes

Let me touch your smile and hold you for a while
