Here we met at twilight,
here we are at dawn,
how those precious hours
seemed to fly
with the silver starlight
Mister Moon has gone to rest
Parting brings us sorrow
till we meet again;
we'll be lonely only for a day.
So until tomorrow
let's smile while we say:

Goodnight! A thousand goodnights;
here we have waited till moonbeams
have faded and gone.
Goodnight! A thousand goodnights;
I'll miss that lovelight I knew
from the twilight till dawn.
That one little moment
meant hours of bliss
forgetting what "No" meant,
meant sighing like this.
Goodnight! Tonight was like heaven,
hold me and kiss me,
and tell me a thousand goodnights.

Goodnight! A thousand goodnights;
here we have waited till moonbeams
have faded and gone.
Goodnight! A thousand goodnights;
I'll miss that lovelight I knew
from the twilight till dawn.
That one little moment
meant hours of bliss
forgetting what "No" meant,
meant sighing like this.
Goodnight! Tonight was like heaven,
hold me and kiss me,
and tell me a thousand goodnights.

All my love I'm leaving, dearest,
in your heart;
when that parting hour has to be,
ev'ry day without you
seeming like a year to me;
leaving me so lonely,
till I realise, in the night
which ends the coming day,
you'll be waiting
only just to hear me say.

Goodnight! A thousand goodnights;
here we have waited till moonbeams
have faded and gone.
Goodnight! A thousand goodnights;
I'll miss that lovelight I knew
from the twilight till dawn.
That one little moment
meant hours of bliss
forgetting what "No" meant,
meant sighing like this.
Goodnight! Tonight was like heaven,
hold me and kiss me,
and tell me a thousand goodnights.

Goodnight! A thousand goodnights;
here we have waited till moonbeams
have faded and gone.
Goodnight! A thousand goodnights;
I'll miss that lovelight I knew
from the twilight till dawn.
That one little moment
meant hours of bliss
forgetting what "No" meant,
meant sighing like this.
Goodnight! Tonight was like heaven,
hold me and kiss me,
and tell me a thousand goodnights.
