When I was a boy but not quite a man
We dealin' with life just as fast as can
Never can tell me if friends could fly
It's not that we're scared
Changes come slow and they come anyway
You can't live forever some people say
As long as I have this time I'll feel alright
I tried as hard as I could
Let me lay on you (Don't say goodnight)
Make the clock stand still, we're so young now
Let me lay on you (Don't say goodnight)
I don't wanna leave, I never can say goodnight
Fourteen months I feel just the same
People walk by without a name
The song is forever, I wonder why
I tried as hard as I could
Fourteen days boy & forty nights
The time it takes to set things right
Let me lay on you (Don't say goodnight)
Make the clock stand still, we're so young now
Let me lay on you (Don't say goodnight)
I don't wanna leave, I never can say goodnight
Oh, let me lay on you (Don't say goodnight)
We're so young now
Let me lay on you (Don't say goodnight)
Don't say goodnight
(Don't say goodnight)
I can't hear you say (Don't say goodnight)
Please don't let me say (Don't say goodnight)
No no, no no
Don't say goodnight
(Don't say goodnight)
Night night night
(Don't say goodnight)
