Kiss Me Goodnight Not Goodbye 1931 Merely Mary Ann

Just like a melody
that lingers on in memory
after the singer has gone.
That's how 'twill seem to me
when you're far away,
if it's eternity
or only a day.

Kiss me goodnight, not goodbye, dear,
one little kiss, won't you try, dear?
Dreams never end
so remember when we part,
time is a friend
that can mend a broken heart.
Though I'm not always beside you,
my love will comfort and guide you,
please hold me tight, dear,
and whisper goodnight, not goodbye
till we meet again!

Kiss me goodnight, not goodbye, dear,
one little kiss, won't you try, dear?
Dreams never end
so remember when we part,
time is a friend
that can mend a broken heart.
Though I'm not always beside you,
my love will comfort and guide you,
please hold me tight, dear,
and whisper goodnight, not goodbye
till we meet again!

Though we are far apart
you'll always linger in my heart
dear one as I carry on.
Twilight when shadows fall
the stars peeping through
each night you'll hear me call
so softly to you.

Kiss me goodnight, not goodbye, dear,
one little kiss, won't you try, dear?
Dreams never end
so remember when we part,
time is a friend
that can mend a broken heart.
Though I'm not always beside you,
my love will comfort and guide you,
please hold me tight, dear,
and whisper goodnight, not goodbye
till we meet again!

Kiss me goodnight, not goodbye, dear,
one little kiss, won't you try, dear?
Dreams never end
so remember when we part,
time is a friend
that can mend a broken heart.
Though I'm not always beside you,
my love will comfort and guide you,
please hold me tight, dear,
and whisper goodnight, not goodbye
till we meet again!
