Melissa Etheridge
Goodnight
[Verse 1]
I washed the dishes, poured out the old wine
Called a new friend for the second time
It's not bad, this brand new life
It's clean and it's sharp like a brand new knife
[Chorus]
I pull up the covers and curl up tight
Turn down the sound, turn off the light
Close my eyes and I quietly whisper
Goodnight, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
[Verse 2]
You're not here, you're not even there
Out of my heart, out of my hair
I can't roll away with this missing piece
You could only ever want what I could never, ever be
[Chorus]
I just pull up the covers and curl up tight
Turn down the sound, turn off the light
Close my eyes, I quietly whisper
Goodnight, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
[Bridge]
How can I be okay if I'm pulling away
All the things that held together my life?
All I want tonight is to touch you and kiss you
But I only wish you goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
[Chorus]
I just pull up the covers and curl up tight
Turn down the sound, turn off the light
Close my eyes and I quietly whisper
Goodnight, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
I just pull up the covers, curl up tight
Close my eyes, I quietly whisper
Goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
Goodnight (Goodnight)
[Outro]
Oh, baby
Goodnight, goodnight
My honey, just
Sleep tight, sleep tight
My baby, no
Goodnight, goodnight
My honey, just, just
Sleep tight, sleep tight
My darling, oh
(Goodnight)
