Da, da, da da daa
Goodnight, sweetheart, well, it's time to go,
Goodnight, sweetheart, well, it's time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
So goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

Don't get too tired for love
Don't let it end
Don't say goodnight to love
It may never be the same again

Don't say it!
Don't say it!
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight


Goodnight Tonight by Wings

In the still of the night as I gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight, my thoughts all stray to you

The sky was full of moon, the moon was full of smiles,
And I was full of love and ecstasy.
I raised my hat, she raised her eyes,
It was easy as ABC.
The trees were full of birds, the birds were full of song,
The song kept saying kiss her tenderly,
So I raised my arms, she raised her lips,
And now she belongs to me.
I said, would you like to cuddle, would you like a little bit of love,
She said of course I'd like to cuddle, what do you think that I'm made of.
Now we've got a house, a house that's full of rooms,
And naturally we've got a nursery,
Cos I raised my hat, she raised her eyes,
Now we're raising a family.

Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own.

They don't write 'em like that any more. What happened to all those great lyric writers?  :(

They are still there, but the older generation ( us) don't listen anymore.

Old?  Ah yes .....

Old Man River, that Old Man River
He must know somethin', but he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant taters, and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants them is soon forgotten
But Old Man River, jest keeps rollin' along

You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
You get a little drunk and you lands in ja-ail

I gets weary and sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin', but afraid of dyin'
And Old Man River, he just keeps rollin' along.

Here's one that was written in the year I was born, 1925.

I don't care what you used to be
I know what you are today,
If you love me and I love you
Who cares what the world may say,
I was no angel in days gone by,
But you asked no questions so why should I,
I don't care what you used to be
I know what you are today.

I expect that you remember this one too ......

Ah, sweet mystery of life
At last I've found thee
Ah, at last I know the secret of it all
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning

The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall
For 'tis love and love alone, the world is seeking
And 'tis love and love alone that can repay
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living

For it is love alone that rules for aye
Love and love alone, the world is seeking
For 'tis love and love alone that can repay
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living
For it is love alone that rules for aye.

Yes indeed! It was one of Richard Tauber's greatest  hits.

Hold me, hold me
Never let me go until you've told me, told me
What I want to know and then just hold me, hold me
Make me tell you I'm in love with you.

Hold me, honey won't you hold me,
Hold me, never let me go
Take me, honey won't you take me
Never to forsake me, 'cause I love you so-o

Thrill me, let your kisses thrill me,
Just like you alone can do
Hold me, tenderly enfold me
Never try to hold me from you.

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the night-time the right time for kissing
Night-time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

Why do I love you? Why do you love me?
Why should there be two happy as we?
Can you see the why or wherefore,
I should be the one you care for?

You're a lucky boy, I am lucky too,
All our dreams of joy seem to come true.
Maybe that's because you love me,
Maybe that's why I love you!

He was one of the greats.

also from Show Boat

Fish got to swim and birds got to fly
I got to love one man till I die
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

Tell me he's lazy
Tell me he's slow
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe, I know
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

When he goes away
That's a rainy day
And when he comes back that day is fine
The sun will shine

He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
