Now, right now, look at the place Im in

When I think about things that I could have done

Its impossible for me to pretend



Chorus

But I see it now as the lights grow dim

And the world starts to close its eyes

I just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne

I hear the music playing, but I no longer understand

Around the corner, down the street

Its got to better than where I am



Repeat chorus



I just wanted to say goodnight

Just wanted to see if everything was all right

Just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne

Time goes by, oh so quietly

Hazy days and memories

And in the end there was only me

Wouldnt have been, I ask sometimes

But I see myself inside this rhyme

Enjoyed what I had back then

Would I do it again?



Well I see it now, as the light grows dim

I just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne

I just wanted to say goodnight

I just wanted to seee if everythings all right

Just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne



(repeat last verse)
