Only goodnight

Painting your eyes
On a canvas of stars
I can see us
In a candlelight night
When the rain falling down
Keeps the time for a dance

And there I would hold you
I would warm you
I would cradle you tight to my heart
I would whisper
How I love you
But tonight
It's only goodnight
Only goodnight

The tick of a clock
Takes away all the things I could tell you
Thoughts with no chance to be words
In these hours without you

Oh, but I'll hold you (someday)
I will warm you (someway)
And I will cherish you right in my heart
And I will whisper
That I love you
But tonight I can't
That's why it's only goodnight
Only goodnight
