Say goodnight, the pinhold flag unfurls Against the sky, a tiny hand uncurls A mouth resigns it's smile 'Cause I could always get a grin free from you child I was once your mother's friend Say goodnight, we've pa**ed a happy ending Close your eyes, and dream of us pretending The cards always hold, the tall sail waves wild And try to mutany against this child I was once your mother's friend Those dizzying heights, those crayons and kites You hanging on sleeves, and pocketing leaves Little things I can't let go A million things that k** me slowly Say goodnight, though you don't recognize my face There was a time, when you went limp in my embrace for awhile We though those days would never end, oh child I was once your mother's friend Say goodnight. Say goodnight. Say goodnight And I'll say goodbye
