Goodnight Irene
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene
Goodnight irene
Ill see you in my dreams
Last saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Me and my wife parted
Think Ill take another walk downtown
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene
Goodnight irene
Ill see you in my dreams
I love irene God knows I do
Ill love her all my life
If irene should ever leave me
Ill take morphine and die
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene
Goodnight irene
Ill see you in my dreams
Stop your rambling stop your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Come home to your wife and family
Sit by the fireside bright
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene
Goodnight irene
Ill see you in my dreams
Goodnight irene
Goodnight irene
Ill see you in my dreams

Christine Irene
(robin wilson, jesse valenzuela)
Well Im a little too ripe to be actin like this
Like some young guy barely got his first kiss
From my first baby steps to my last cigarette
Every single little thing was leading to this
Christine irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine irene
My christine irene
Youve been around too long to react so coy
Like Im something that youd best avoid
Like a first date kiss from an anxious guy
Knowing that hes got a little more in mind
Christine irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine irene
My christine irene
We can last til dawn if the moon stays bright
And hang our secret on its last light
From a first date kiss that could not hide
We both wanted something more tonight
Christine irene
Pretty as a girl on a magazine
Christine irene
My christine irene
Christine irene
Prettiest girl as Ive ever seen
Christine irene
My christine irene

And We Bid You Goodnight
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest,
Wont you lay your head upon your saviors chest,
I love you all, but jesus loves you the best
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
I would never ride, well, I would never ride (goodnight, goodnight)
But his rod and his staff, they comfort me (goodnight, goodnight)
Tell a for the ark, that wonderful boat (goodnight, goodnight)
Tell b for the beast at the ending of the wood (goodnight, goodnight)
You know it ate all the children when they wouldnt be good,
Walking in jerusalem just like john (goodnight, goodnight)
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death,
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

Goodnight
You thought shyness was to blame
And you'd get to live your life again
When you get to wish everyone goodnight
As the crowd booed out your name
At least they spelled it right, so you don't complain
Why everyone is wishing you goodnight
And maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
What if I was the only one who can say goodnight
It's your heroes who are to blame
Constantly saying things that they don't explain
Well that's too bad, but I still can't say goodnight
And I just can't stay tonight
I woke up saying goodnight
Goodnight

What Is This Going To Get Us?
Irene wilson / arthur herzog jr.
What is this going to get us
Where are we headin in
When do we start to I rye dear
When do we really begin
What is this going to get us
Hanging around till tour
Saying goodnight at daybreak
Kissing goodbye in the doorway
We can go on the way weve gone
Im at the end of my rope
I cant live on love Ive so much of
And I cant keep livin on hope
What is this going to get us
Only an aching heart
When is this going to get us
Together never to part

Goodnight
(orbison/dees)
My lovely woman child
I found you out running wild with someone new
Youve been untrue, and everybody knows were through
But I cant say goodbye to you, no matter what you do
My heart wont let you go, although I know you go
With someone new, I think of you
I think of how you kiss, your tenderness
With all of this, I miss the way you say goodnight
Bittersweet, your kisses, when my heart still misses
The way that things used to be, but I know youre strong for
Other arms you long for, and you can never come back to me
Not just for yesterday, tonight or tomorrow
Ah, but forever
Ill hear you say goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight turned out to be a lie
And I cant help it if I cry
Goodnight my love, sleep tight my love
Goodnight

Goodnight Ladies
Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
Its time to say goodbye
Let me tell you now
Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
Its time to say goodbye
Now all night long youve been drinking your tequilla
But now youve sucked your lemon peel dry
So why not get high
Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
Its time to say goodbye
Goodnight sweet ladies, ladies goodnight
Its time to say goodbye bye bye
Oh weve been together for the longest time
But now its time to get high
Come on lets get high
And goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight
Oh, Im still missing my other half
Ah, it must be something I did in the past
Dont it just make you want to laugh
Its a lonely saturday night
Oh, nobody calls me on the telephone
I put another record on my stereo
But Im still singin a song of you
Its a lonely saturday night
Now if I was an actor or a dancer who is glamorous
Then you know an amorus life would soon be mine
But now the tinsil lighted starbreak is all thats left
To play my heartbreak
At eleven oclock I watch the network news
Oh, wow, wow, something tells me that youre nearly gone
You said we could be friends but thats not what I want
Ah, anyway my tv dinners almost done
Its a lonely saturday night
I mean to tell you its a lonely saturday night
One more round

Goodnight Facebook
You were there to share my pain.
You were there to share my joy.
24hours a day you're always there,
brigding the gap of my lonliness.
With you, i will always smile.
With just a click you bring me
tidings from a million miles.
With you, am always in touch
my friends.
But now my bed want to get
in touch with me.
Goodnight facebook.
Goodnight.
Wish you can tell me
sleep tight, sleep nice,
bedbug won't bite.
Goodnight!

You praise my self-sacrifice, Spoon River,
In rearing Irene and Mary,
Orphans of my older sister!
And you censure Irene and Mary
For their contempt of me!
But praise not my self-sacrifice,
And censure not their contempt;
I reared them, I cared for them, true enough!--
But I poisoned my benefactions
With constant reminders of their dependence.

The Goodnight Song
you're my backseat lover who never wears a seatbelt
my angel who can't keep her halo straight
you've got a shoulder for me to cry on
and another with a devil to steer me the wrong way
so let's go, let's go
bottom's up, bottom's up, baby girl, tonight is the night that maybe
tonight, tonight, maybe i will get some sleep,
i won't be thinking of you
goodnight, goodnight, sleep tight, sweet dreams, so long,
this is the goodnight song
you're a hardcore version of a damsel in distress
cut my heart, pour the salt, and press
then you kiss it to, heal the wound
now the sun's rising, morning's coming soon
so let's go, let's go
bottom's up, bottom's up, baby girl, tonight is the night that maybe
tonight, tonight, maybe i will get some sleep,
i won't be thinking of you
goodnight, goodnight, sleep tight, sweet dreams, so long,
this is the goodnight song
your tongue's so evil, the skin on your teeth peels off
but you're everything my dreamcatcher caught
your tongue's so evil, the skin on your teeth peels off
but i'm never gonna ask you to stop
so let's go, let's go
bottom's up, bottom's up, baby girl, tonight is the night that maybe
tonight, tonight, maybe i will get some sleep,
i won't be thinking of you
goodnight, goodnight, sleep tight, sweet dreams, so long,
this is the goodnight song

Goodnight Kisses
All day long I waited for this
The way you say goodnight with a passionate kiss
A kiss that drives away any thoughts of sleep
And tells me your love is mine to keep
Goodnight kisses passionate or mild
Any one of yours can drive me wild
My fatigue is replaced by wakefulness
When your lips touch mine in a goodnight kiss
Arms around each other
Lying in bed
The children are sleeping
The cat's been fed
Kissing and caressing like every other night
Your goodnight kisses just feel so right
In my sleep I dream of your kiss
How our lips together brings such bliss
And I know that there's no better way
Than a goodnight kiss to end the day

Goodnight And Go
Say goodnight and go
Skipping beats, flashing jeeps
I am struggling
Daydreaming, been sitting, the corner cafe
And I'm left in bits, recovered tectonic, trembling
You get me everytime
Why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
Follow you home
You've got your headphones on
And your dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot
You're taking everything off
Watch the curtains, wide open
And you fall in the same routine
Flicking through the TV
Relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone
Oh why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
One of these days
You'll miss your train, and come stay with me
It's always say goodnight and go
We'll have drinks and talk about things
And any excuse to stay awake with you
You'd sleep here, I'd sleep there
But then the heating may be down again
At my convenience
We'd be good, we'd be great together
Go
Why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
Why is it always, always
Goodnight and Go
Goodnight and Go!

I Dont Wanna Say Goodnight
(al anderson /robert ellis orrall)
Just one innocent smile that I could have missed
Thats all it took to start all this
One word so softly spoken when I needed it most
Why you, why right now, who knows?
And I dont know why this is happenin
Why it feels so right
But I do know I dont wanna say goodnight
Last kiss until tomorrow out on the front porch swing
Till then nothin means anything
And I dont know why this is happenin
Why it feels so right
But I do know I dont wanna say goodnight
I cant let go when Im holdin you tight
All I dream of is that day when we dont have to say goodnight
And I dont know why this is happenin
Why it feels so right
But I do know I dont wanna say goodnight
And I dont know why this is happenin
Why it feels so right
But I do know I dont wanna say goodnight
Just one innocent smile that I could have missed
Thats all it took to start all this
Oh no, I dont wanna say goodnight
Oh no, I dont wanna say goodnight
Oh, I dont wanna say goodnight
Oh no, just wanna hold you tight

Emotions
Its over and done
But the heartache lives on inside
And who is the one your clinging to instead of me tonite
(bridge)
And where are you now
Now that I need you
Tears on my pillow
Wherever you go
Cry me a river that leads to your oceans
Youll never see me fall apart
(chorus)
In the words of a broken heart its just emotions
Taking me over
Tied up in sorrows
Lost in my soul
And if you dont come back
Come home to me darlin
You know therell be no body left in this world to hold me tight
No body left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight goodnight goodnight
Goodnight
Im here at your side
Apart of all the things you are
And you never thought of some one else
Your gonna find you shining star
Repeat bridge

Farewell & Goodnight
Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tite
May it hold you through the winter of a long night
And keep you from the loneliness of yourself
Heart strung, is your heart frayed and empty
cause its hard luck, when no one understands your love
Its unsung, and I say
(chorus)
Goodnight, my love, to every hour and every day
Goodnight, always, to all thats pure thats in your heart
Goodnight, may your dreams be so happy and your
Head lite with the wishes of a sandman and a night light
Be careful not to let the bedbugs
Sleep tight nestled in your covers
(2x)
The sun shines, but I dont
The silver rain will wash away
And you can tell, its just as well

Lovin you is killin me inside
Everytime I find the words to end it, something in your eyes wont let it

Shandi, tonight must last us forever, forever we say goodnight and go home
But you know me very well, and I know you, you cant tell me goodnight
(say goodnight)
We been holding on so tight, were afraid to let it go
Shake it loose, we both could use the ride
Heres another mess I got myself in, and when you touch me you aint helpin

Forever we say goodnight and go home

Goodnight Little Houseplant
Goodnight little houseplant asleep on the sill
I'll pull the shades so you don't catch a chill
And tomorrow in the morning don't be breaskfast for two
We'll have ham and eggs for me and nitrogen for you
Goodnight little houseplant tucked in your clay pot
Maske sure you don't catch Huntington's Rot
Remember little houseplant stay away from them bees
I've heard they may carry a social disease
Goodnight little houseplant goodnight
Here's your glass of water should I leave on the light
Tomorrow we'll talk of the things that we did
I love you little house plant who needs women and kids

Waterlogged
Waterlogged and silent,
The muse of 'Hurricane Irene' hits New York!
But, i do hope that, the people over there will be in safer places;
However, nobody can stop Nature's strong hands.
Unsettled,
Unusually,
Uncertain! !
And like Nature's strong hands in the name of 'Hurricane Irene';
But let us all hope for the best after it overflows,
Even though, this flooding water destroys everything on its way.
Waterlogged, water, log, logged, god, dog, eat, ate, tea, are, era, art;
Waterlogged and silent!
Waterlogged, ear, to, at, lead, led, lod, deal, dale, ale, war, raw, dole;
The muse of 'Hurricane Irene' hits New York!
Waterlogged, tear, dear, read, deer, reed, go, do, doe, doer, oar, lower;
But, i do hope that, the people over there will be in safer places;
Waterlogged, wear, ware, weed, wed, law, low, dew, grew, rag, dreg;
However, nobody can stop Nature's strong hands! !
Waterlogged, rode, rod, red, draw, late, teal, tale, date, role, wart, gear;
And, uncertain are the different acts of the the 'Hurricanes' all over the world.

Goodnight My Friend
Goodnight my sun
Goodnight my friend
Rest your soul at this
Long days end
The fire inside
Will warm our night
And daddys arms will
Hold you tight
Dream of summer skies
Sunset is bound to each sunrise
Rest is your first right
My friend goodnight
This world spinning
Time always winning
The silver chains keep thinning and
This is just your beginning
Sleep my friend
At last be free
No we wont forget
Our merriest melody
Gone to another place
Of carousel rides round an angels face
Im sure wed both laugh at the sight
My friend goodnight
