Don't Kiss Me Good-Night - 1936

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 25 Oct 2001

We've spent a lovely evening,
watching the moon aglow,
now that it's time you're leaving,
just say goodbye and go.

Don't kiss me goodnight,
for if you kiss me goodnight
and my arms hold you tight,
I'm certain, my dear,
we won't say goodnight,
we'll just linger here till dawn;
Don't say 'I love you',
For if you say 'I love you',
I'll say 'I love you too',
and once you confess,
how can I leave you,
then we will caress till dawn.
Though it brings us sorrow
when we say adieu,
there's always tomorrow
to look forward to,
Don't kiss me goodnight,
because your lips will invite
thrilling hours of delight,
I can't trust my heart,
the moon is too bright
so we'd better part, goodnight.

Don't kiss me goodnight,
for if you kiss me goodnight
and my arms hold you tight,
I'm certain, my dear,
we won't say goodnight,
we'll just linger here till dawn;
Don't say 'I love you',
For if you say 'I love you',
I'll say 'I love you too',
and once you confess,
how can I leave you,
then we will caress till dawn.
Though it brings us sorrow
when we say adieu,
there's always tomorrow
to look forward to,
Don't kiss me goodnight,
because your lips will invite
thrilling hours of delight,
I can't trust my heart,
the moon is too bright
so we'd better part, goodnight.

This night I'll long remember,
how I first learned your name,
and this may be the ember,
to set our hearts aflame.

Don't kiss me goodnight,
for if you kiss me goodnight
and my arms hold you tight,
I'm certain, my dear,
we won't say goodnight,
we'll just linger here till dawn;
Don't say 'I love you',
For if you say 'I love you',
I'll say 'I love you too',
and once you confess,
how can I leave you,
then we will caress till dawn.
Though it brings us sorrow
when we say adieu,
there's always tomorrow
to look forward to,
Don't kiss me goodnight,
because your lips will invite
thrilling hours of delight,
I can't trust my heart,
the moon is too bright
so we'd better part, goodnight.

Don't kiss me goodnight,
for if you kiss me goodnight
and my arms hold you tight,
I'm certain, my dear,
we won't say goodnight,
we'll just linger here till dawn;
Don't say 'I love you',
For if you say 'I love you',
I'll say 'I love you too',
and once you confess,
how can I leave you,
then we will caress till dawn.
Though it brings us sorrow
when we say adieu,
there's always tomorrow
to look forward to,
Don't kiss me goodnight,
because your lips will invite
thrilling hours of delight,
I can't trust my heart,
the moon is too bright
so we'd better part, goodnight.
