A Kiss Goodnight Songtext

von Ella Fitzgerald

I don't wanna kiss goodnight
I just wanna stay here forever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

Lying here in silence
So in love, but so afraid
And I'm not gonna deny it
I have never felt this way

Time is slipping away
And we both know that I can't stay
And time is not on our side
So let's make the most of our last night

I don't wanna kiss goodnight
I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

'Cause I know in the morning you'll be gone
How am I supposed to carry on
I don't wanna kiss goodnight
I just wanna stay here forever

We're not gonna surrender
Let's stay awake till the sun comes up
Just one night left to remember
So save your tears cause it always rains this time of year

It's time, so let's do this right
'Cause we ain't got all night
And it's time to hold you tight
'Cause we're only minutes from goodbye

I don't wanna kiss goodnight
I just wanna stay here forever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

'Cause I know in the morning you'll be gone
How am I supposed to carry on?
I don't wanna kiss goodnight
I just wanna stay here forever

Now the night is over
We both know what it means
Lying here watching the sun comes up
Is like waking from a dream

I don't wanna kiss goodnight
I just wanna stay here forever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna kiss goodnight
I just wanna stay here forever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I just wanna stay here forever

'Cause I know in the morning you'll be gone
How am I supposed to carry on?
I don't wanna kiss good night
I just wanna stay here forever
Forever.
