Good Night! - 1930 - Viktoria and Her Hussar

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 07 Mar 2002

Some day, how gladly I'll discover
That I've exchanged a lover
For a friend dear!
Some day! Yet what can it avail you?
You knew I would not fail you,
In the end, dear!

There's one word only
That's still to be spoken:
"Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!"
Hearts may be lonely,
But ties must be broken!
"Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!"
Give me your hand dear,
And look in my eyes!
You understand:
We must be wise!
Have no regrets dear!
Forgive and forget, dear!
"Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!"

Someday, when we recall the story,
Shall all its former glory
Fade and perish?
Some day! Yet mem'ries true and tender
Of all that you surrender
Still I'll cherish!

There's one word only
That's still to be spoken:
"Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!"
Hearts may be lonely,
But ties must be broken!
"Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!"
Give me your hand dear,
And look in my eyes!
You understand:
We must be wise!
Have no regrets dear!
Forgive and forget, dear!
"Goodnight! Goodnight! Goodnight!"
