Lyrics

Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go
I hate to leave you, but I really must say
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go
I hate to leave you, but I really must say
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight
Well, it's three o'clock in the morning
Baby, I just can't treat you right
Well, I hate to leave you, baby
Don't mean maybe, because I love you so
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go
I hate to leave you, but I really must say
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go
I hate to leave you, but I really must say
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight
Now, my mother and my father
Might hear if I stay here too long
One kiss and we'll part
And you'll be going
You know I hate to see you go
