(SO THIS IS HOW WE SAY) GOOD-NIGHT TO LOVE
Words & Music © John Morton 1999.
And so good-bye the old, ring in the new;
A new year’s change of plans for me and you—
We’ve got two brand new lives to start,
With broken hearts,
And no moonlight above—
So this is how we say good-night to love…
To love…
So why do poets speak in ‘moons’ and ‘Junes’,
Songwriters dedicate their every tune
To wind up like some nursery rhyme
When we just find
That push must come to shove?
So this is how we say good-night to love…
To love…
So this is how we say good-night—
It’s fight or flight,
But both too tired to run;
If this is how we say good-night,
It’s no surprise
We tried it just the once.
Whenever stars embrace on silver screens,
A chorus serenades offstage, unseen—
They’ll never know what nerves of steel
It takes to deal
With all this kind of stuff—
So this is how we say good-night to love…
How we say good-night to love…
(Rpt)
To love…
So this is how we say good-night to love…
