It's almost sunrise
Hours and hours gone by
Candles are burned down
Turned into morning light
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't I
Why can't I say goodnight
The whole world is sleeping
And still I can't give in
It's a love story
I never want to end
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't I
Why can't I say goodnight
I'm using up all my strength
Can't tear myself away
It only gets harder as night turns to day
There isn't one place
Honey, that I'd rather be
Than right here in your arms
With your head lying on me
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't I
Why can't I say goodnight
Darlin' why can't I say goodnight
Hours and hours gone by
Candles are burned down
Turned into morning light
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't I
Why can't I say goodnight
The whole world is sleeping
And still I can't give in
It's a love story
I never want to end
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't I
Why can't I say goodnight
I'm using up all my strength
Can't tear myself away
It only gets harder as night turns to day
There isn't one place
Honey, that I'd rather be
Than right here in your arms
With your head lying on me
The time to go has come and gone
Why can't I
Why can't I say goodnight
Darlin' why can't I say goodnight
