Goodnight Sweetheart Lyrics

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
Goodnight sweetheart, goodnight
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
Goodnight sweetheart, goodnight
Well, it's three o'clock in the morning
Baby, I just can't get right
Well, I hate to leave you, baby
Don't mean maybe because I love you so
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
Oh, goodnight sweetheart, goodnight
Mother, and your father
Don't like it if I stay here too long
One kiss in the dark and I'll be going
You know I hate to go
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
Oh, goodnight sweetheart, goodnight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
