Goodnight - Leslie Mendelson

The crowd drifts away

The music’s beginning to fade

The last notes have been played

As we drift out of sight

From a young girl selling a rose

Where the neon lights' flicker were closed

On a street where nobody goes

When they turn out the lights

Oh, but you and I

Well, our future looks bright

But for now, goodnight

It won’t be long

There’s something inside us so strong

And we both know we belong

And we’ll hold on tight

Like a child with a big balloon

Like the earth holds on to the moon

Like Eve on a hot afternoon taking a bite

And if you don’t go now we just might

So for now, goodnight

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Is that the time?

Just one more glass of wine

And I probably will make you mine

But it wouldn’t be right

One day our flame will ignite

But for now, goodnight
