The terms Qahtanite and Qahtani (Arabic: قحطان; transliterated: Qahtan or Qaḥṭān or Kahtan) refer to Semitic peoples either originating in, or claiming genealogical descent from the southern extent of the Arabian Peninsula, especially from Yemen.
The rival group to the Qahtan are variously known as Adnan, Ma'add or Nizar.
The Qahtani people are divided into the two sub-groups of Himyar and Kahlan, with the Himyar branch as Himyarites and the Kahlan branch as Kahlanis.
Arab tradition maintains that a semi-legendary ancestral figure named Qahtan and his 24 sons are the progenitors of the southern inhabitants of the Arabian peninsula known as Qahtani.
Early Islamic historians identified Qahtan with the Yoqtan (Joktan) son of Eber of the Hebrew Bible (Gen. 10:25-29).
Among the sons of Qahtan are noteworthy figures like A'zaal (believed by Arabs to have been the original name of Sana'a, although its current name has been attested since the Iron Age) and Hadhramaut. Another son is Ya'rub, and his son Yashjub is the father of 'Abd Shams, who is also called Saba. All Yemeni tribes trace their ancestry back to this "Saba", either through Himyar or Kahlan, his two sons.

My Lovely woman child
I found you out running wild with someone new
You've been untrue, And everybody knows we're through
But I can't say goodbye to you, No matter what you do
My heart won't let you go, Although I know you go
With someone new, I think of you
I think of how you kiss, Your tenderness
With all of this, I miss the way you say goodnight
Bittersweet, your kisses, When my heart still misses
The way that things used to be, But I know you're strong for
Other arms you long for, And you can never come back to me
Not just for yesterday, tonight or tomorrow
Ah, but forever
I'll hear you say goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight turned out to be a lie
And I can't help it if I cry
Goodnight my love, Sleep tight my love
Goodnight my friends
Goodnight my friends
Sweet dreams from ABC land
Now it's time to say goodnight
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
(Dream sweet dreams for me)
Dream sweet dreams for you
(For for you)
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
(Goodnight, sleep tight)
Now the moon begins to shine
(Goodnight, sleep tight)
Dream sweet dreams for me
(Dream sweet dreams for me)
Dream sweet dreams for you
(For you)
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
(Goodnight, sleep tight)
Now the moon begins to shine
(Goodnight, sleep tight)
How does the time slip by so fast
Why can't it once stand still
For us this night, will always last
With every breath until
And if you find you're all alone
Remember you have wings
As long as there is air to breathe
And music left unsung
You know that in the darkest night
A dawn has just begun
So think of us, we'll think of you
Together we'll take flight
For we shall never say goodbye
We only say goodnight
For we shall never say goodbye
Now it's time to say good night
Good night, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you
Good night
Good night everybody

As you brush your shoes and stand before your mirror
And you comb your hair and grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember
All those wild nights breeze through your mind
And everything looks so complete
When you're walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Oooh, oo-ooh wee the wild night is calling
All the girls walk by dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street
And the people passing by just stare with the wild wonder
And the inside jukebox roars just like thunder
And everything looks so complete
When you're walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Oooh, oo-ooh wee
The wild night is calling
The wild --------night is calling
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance
And everything looks so complete
When you're walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Oooh, oo-ooh wee the wild night is calling
I washed the dishes poured out the old wine
Called a new friend for the second time
It's not bad this brand new life
It's clean and it's sharp like a brand new knife
I pull up the covers and curl up tight
Turn down the sound turn off the light
Close my eyes and I quietly whisper
Goodnight
You're not here you're not even there
Out of my heart out of my hair
I can't roll away with this missing piece
You could only ever want what I could never ever be
How can I be okay if I'm pulling away
All the things that held together my life
All I want tonight is to touch you and kiss you
But I only wish you
Well, it's after midnight and the stars are shining bright
And a big fat moon is dancing on the sea, and I'm thinking, oh my...
And that old man in the sky he's looking me right in the eye
And he's wondering why, and he's saying ";Little singer,
Why aren't you sleeping, why aren't you sleeping?";
Oh, the day is hanging heavy on my eyes, I guess the time
Has come to say goodnight...
And may your dreams take you travelling all night long,
With an angel by your side when the wind blows strong
Oh stay away from that city, that sad and lonely place,
I will lead you to the river, here's the door,
And the key is turning round
Close the shutters, do not cry, there's a new moon in the sky;
Oh hold on to your love, until your time has come to say... goodnight.
Now it's time to say good night
Good night, sleep tight!
Now the sun turns out its light
Good night, sleep tight!
Dreams, sweet dreams for me
Dreams, sweet dreams for you
Close your eyes, now close mine
Good night, sleep tight!
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night, sleep tight!
Dreams, sweet dreams for me
(Dreams, sweet dreams for me)
Dreams, sweet dreams for you
(Dreams, sweet dreams for you)
Close your eyes 'n I close mine
Good night, sleep tight!
Now the sun turns out its light
Good night, sleep tight!
Dreams, sweet dreams for me
(Dreams, sweet dreams for me)
Dreams, sweet dreams for you
(Dreams, sweet dreams for you)
Dreams, sweet dreams for me
(Dreams, sweet dreams for me)
Dreams, sweet dreams for you
(Dreams, sweet dreams for you)
Dreams, sweet dreams for me
(Dreams, sweet dreams for me)
Dreams, sweet dreams for you
(Dreams, sweet dreams for you)
Dreams, sweet dreams for me
(Dreams, sweet dreams for me)
Dreams, sweet dreams for you
(Dreams, sweet dreams for you)

Would you like to do a number with me?
Would you like to, would you like to
Thank you very much
Sleepless nights don't bother me at all
If dawn comes, I won't worry
Something deep inside keeps me awake
I wish that you were here right beside me, woah
I recall when I was very young
And could not go to sleep
My father sang me songs to make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
So, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
Now I lie awake and it's no fun
Tossing and turning
I'd call you if it weren't so very late
But telephones don't bring you close to me, woah
I recall the times we stayed up late
Wide awake but still dreaming
There was nothing on this earth could make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, if you dream, you dream of me
So, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, if you dream, you dream of me
Goodnight, sleep tight
No more tears
In the morning I'll be here
And when we say goodnight,
Dry your eyes
Because we said goodnight,
And not goodbye
We said goodnight
[Chorus: B.o.B]
My soul is getting weary, weary
And I know the ending is nearing, nearing tonight
So just say goodbye and kiss your dreams goodnight
So just say goodbye and kiss your dreams goodnight
[Verse 1: B.o.B.]
So just say goodnight to your dreams
Because tonight is the night of the beast
I am not frightened, I'm delighted to speak
When the time comes, until the night we will lead
That's why I decided to B. O. to the B
So, one time for the streets
One time for all the minds hypnotized by TV
Because everything is just a spiral to me
[Break:]
Goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: B.o.B]
So get your hands up high
No, don't be shy, raise em up to the sky
Because we will survive
Yeah, storm after storm, there's still sunshine
So can you feel the vibe?
Yeah, just like yeast, I'm a major rise
So just say goodbye
And just kiss it goodnight when the day arrives
[Break]
[Chorus]
[Break x2]
[Chorus]
[Break]
Now it's coming to the end of the evening
The time when the ceiling sways and objects jerk out of place
Your eyelids heavy, you make your way down the yellow streets past rows
and rows of houses
Curtains drawn tight against the cold night air
To a flight of stairs which lead to a room where a bed is waiting for you to lie down
Perhaps alone, perhaps not and go to sleep again
They wait alone in unused rooms
They sit and they remember
Oh, please remember
So you lie on your back in the dark and listen to the blood rushing in your ears
And the soft "tick, tick, tick" of your watch against the mattress springs
Patterns merge behind your eyes
Purple and green, glwoing gently and all is soft with furry darkness
You yawn once turn on your side and fall to sleep again
They wait alone, they bathed your eyes when nights were cold
Remember
Oh, please remember
There's something you've forgotten
When you awoke later that night the bedroom was cold and you were alone
Alone and afraid of the dark
Watching
Waiting
Watching
Waiting
As you lie on your back naked beneath the cold sheets
Not dead, just sleeping
Sleeping
You thought shyness was to blame
And you'd get to live your life again
When you get to wish everyone goodnight
As the crowd booed out your name
At least they spelt it right, so you don't complain
Why everyone is wishing you goodnight
And maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
But I thought I was the only one who can say goodnight
It's your heroes who are to blame
Constantly saying things that they don't explain
Well that's too bad, but I still can't say goodnight
And I just can't stay tonight
I woke up saying goodnight
Goodnight
Missed you at your daddy's place
Missed you at your uncle's place
Drove down to your sister's
And she said that I missed you by a day
Me and what went wrong headed south, tryin' to track you down
Wherever I checked darlin', you'd already checked out
I'm no closer to you than I was the day you left
Parked out here under the moon, dyin' to give it a rest
So goodnight Raleigh, goodnight Durham
Goodnight Atlanta and Macon and Jacksonville
Live from high atop the hood of my car
I'm signing off, sweet dreams baby, wherever you are
One day I'll catch up to you
Tell you what I've been through
One day it won't be your voice mail I'm talking to
You won't have to say all that much
Just tell me where we lost touch
And if there's a chance of some new version of the way it was
You've got my number you pick the time, pick the town
You're out there somewhere, it's your move now
So goodnight Raleigh, goodnight Durham
Goodnight Atlanta and Macon and Jacksonville
Live from high atop the hood of my car
I'm signing off, sweet dreams baby, wherever you are
Live from high atop the hood of my car
Light
Round and round with tickled toes
Bare-bummed, we all fall
Arms and charm in living room
We play the Star Wars
Next door
My bed is shared with Matthew
And I love the sweet kiss
I love
Our battles in our dreams
Be nestled snuggly,
Cry on
Luke, boy, did you bring the X-wing fighter?
I'm bent to please inside my armor
I will not...(yeah) fail
A wookie Chewbacca, Jabba, and all his friends love
Boba Fett's men representing the Clone Wars
Restore, we all fall downward
Did you bring the X-wing fighter?
I'm bent to please inside my armor
I will fail
I'd give it up if I were you (oh oh oh)
Never, please, and I was more (than)
[x3]
I'd give up if I were you
Goodnight [x3]
Whoa oh oh
Summer, she's gone but I remain
Summer, she gazed upon what I could know and
Remembered it all fall downward
Did you bring the X-wing fighter?
I'm bent to please inside my armor
I will not
I'd give it up if I were you (oh oh oh)
Never, please, and I was more (than)
When you need someone, that you can turn to
Honey don't you know-You can turn to me
And if you need a hand, to help you hold on
Honey don't you know-You can hold on me
Because you've given me the moon
Oh of this you're unaware
And you'll be moving on so soon
To the life that's waiting out there
Goodnight my sweet angel-It's time to close your eyes
Goodnight my sweet angel-I'll see you when you rise
Sleepless nights don't bother me at all
And if dawn comes I won't worry
Something deep inside keeps me awake
I wish that you were here right beside me
I recall when I was very young
And I could not fall asleep
My father sang me songs to make me tired
But memories don't come so easily
So goodnight, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
Goodnight, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
Now I lie awake and it's no fun
Tossing and I'm turning
I'd call you if it weren't so very late
But telephones won't bring you close to me
I recall the nights we stayed up late
Wide awake but still dreaming
There was nothing on this earth that could make me tired
But memories don't come so easily
So goodnight, goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
Goodnight, goodnight, wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, you dream of me
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, little one
Your day was fun
But now it's time to close your eyes
Goodnight
(Goodnight)
Goodnight
(Goodnight)
Sleep tight, little one
The night has come
And it's time to dream your dreams
Goodnight
(Goodnight)
Goodnight
(Goodnight)
Goodnight, little one
It's time for rock-a-byes
Until the morning comes
When you need someone that you can turn to
Honey don't you know, you can turn to me
And if you need a hand to help you hold on
Honey don't you know, you can hold on me
Because you've given me the moon
Oh, of this you're unaware
And you'll be moving on so soon
To the life that's waiting out there
Goodnight my sweet angel, it's time to close your eyes
[Woodie:]
Dead bodies ain't new to me, I could give a fuck who you be
If I'm threatened I'm steppin' lettin' my weapon be the root of me
I aim to do to you before what you aim to do to me
At thirty I damn near got street warfare tactics down to a T
It's true the Yoc influenced me, I grew up gone off booze and weed
Cocked and stocked walkin' thru the streets,
Now demonz got me losin' sleep
Oh well, hello hell, I'll ride 'til killed in this life
Deep down inside feel I'm gonna die with no children or wife
Only my stripes and my memories of loved ones that remember me
And the day that death renders me is a blessin' for my enemies
Before I'm on bended knees, I'll bend corners and let it squeeze
God no disrespect intended but vengeance is a necessity
While homiez dead rest in peace I roam lonely infested streets
With a vest and heat 'til destiny catches up with me and gets the best of me
Few next to me but best believe when it's time to lock and load we ride
I hold you closely you push me away
I want forever you just want today
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good night
I hear the tick of a bomb
All your hair in a fuse
You ask me for a light
To blow away these blues
Run me a bath, then plug me in
I'm like a T.V. learning to swim
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good night
I hold you closely you push me away
I want forever you just want today
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
First place on a classroom wall
Every turn of the face can help to break the fall from a domestic
disgrace
Every rumor displaced is lost and found
A lack of discipline
One hand to cut the other
So unprofessional
You're not a friend, you're just a lover
Nothing exceptional
This is correctional
Mirror on the wall (wall)
Frame the picture (picture)
Reflect this kiss to wish us all goodnight (goodnight)
First day in a victim's chair
Every surface replace can help to keep you fair for a corrected gaze
Every feature displayed will match your crowd
A loss of innocence
One hand to wash the other
Be a perfectionist
You're nothing if you're just another
Something material
This is impersonal
Mirror on the wall (wall)
Frame the picture (picture)
Reflect this kiss to wish us all goodnight (goodnight)
We're all dancing to the same sad song
And we're not sleeping, but it won't take long
Illicit conviction
Confessions incomplete
Correction
Submissive restriction
Instructions will repeat
Direction
Mirror on the wall (wall)
Frame the picture (picture)
Goodnite
Close your eyes and just sleep tight
Lie awake and watch you dream
To be sure that all of your dreams are pure
My dear, don't you worry 'bout a thing
I'll be near to you all night
And through the evening
I'll be by your side
So goodnite
Close your eyes and just sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
To be sure that all of your dreams are pure
While you slumber, in case you ever wonder
If a summer breeze just brushed your cheek
Know it's me
And goodnite
Close your eyes and just sleep tight
Lie awake and watch you dream
Maybe I'm just tired
I'm never getting any sleep
Do you remember sleeping on my floor?
Maybe I'm just tired
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
I can't remember
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
[Verse 1]
I kick flows, rip shows, think it switched though?
Shit no, it ain't any different when I get home
I shift po to get dough, lust p's
If you ain't ever been broke?
For you to judge me's an insult
It's my life an I'm living it
Agreed we all have choices but mine limited mostly by my decisions
If I knew then what I knew now I'd a lived live different
I'd be a different me but I didn't so this is me
Me, in my position what would you have done?
Would you of done what I did? Am I what you would become?
My guess, my guess is you would of succumb like I did
The decision was mine but I was too young
An I picked the wrong path, I went the wrong way
Left school then got the grade, banged it out, got my pape's
Stacked my p's copped a cake, I'm holding weight now
Made a brick of a ounce an ain't been in the jailhouse
I intend on staying free, free for me don't mean free from stress
Lay in bed but I ain't asleep
From I need rest I just blaze the tree's
Drift off hearing my Nan say to me
[Chorus]
Good night, God bless
I'll see you in the morning
Good night, God bless
I'll see you in the morning
[Verse 2]
I'm a dreamer, but can only dream as
Long as I'm asleep I've, been having trouble sleeping
See Nanny Edie ain't here to say goodbye no more
I had to say goodbye to her, inside is where resides the hurt
Now all I feel is pain, after that nothingness
After that? Nothing since, after that there's nothing left
Some of her last words were I can't fight forever
Like she wanted to give up an of life she was fed up
She had to go but I wanted her to stay
Cause ever since she left, things haven't been the same
I need a new shelter from the rain
My face looking weathered, a facety looking bredder I'm fed up
I know not what to do
See I'd love to say that I don't give a fuck but I do
The gift an curse that I'm blessed with
The pressures on road ain't nothing to the emotions that I wrestle with
Stress got me in a figure four, raw is what I'm thinking
I wonder what I'm living for?
Is it only to hurt? First my great nan
Now I gotta put my dad in the dirt
Back in the earth, I wished we could have patched it up first
I was so angry though, I just couldn't handle the hurt
Now your in the back of a hurse
It hurts more than it ever did
Sometimes I wish that I had never lived
Feels as if it would have been better if I never did, live
I don't know how I'm ever gonna get through this, shit
I swear down blood, I'm runnin on empty
My life ain't nothing to be envied
Good evening to the sun
Might I be the only one
Who sleeps through melodies of morning
While they wake
This chirping lullaby
Brings my little dreams to life
In my sanctuary I become a child
So goodbye to the sun
Goodnight
All pain will be gone for a while
A while, goodnight
Heaven's windows are the stars
You were watching me from where you are
But we're divided by the light
When morning starts
So goodbye to the sun
Goodnight
All pain will be gone for a while
A while, goodnight
Goodbye to the sun
Goodnight
All pain will be gone for a while
A while
Goodbye to the sun
Goodnight
All pain will be gone for a while
A while, goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
A light comes through the glass
And shines in on the past
The day you left too fast
The day I saw you last
A faded photograph
The time we thought we had
And I just want you back
Goodnight, goodnight
This pain won't last forever
I'll bury this, bury this inside
Please don't say goodbye
Goodnight, goodnight
It doesn't mean forever
I'll bury this, bury this inside
Its my last kiss goodnight
Your there in black and gray
Your always in the frame
It's like you always say
Things never stay the same
A faded photograph
The time we thought we had
And I just want you back
Goodnight, goodnight
This pain won't last forever
I'll bury this, bury this inside
Please don't say goodbye
Goodnight, goodnight
It doesn't mean forever
I'll bury this, bury this inside
Its my last kiss goodnight
If I could go back in time
If I could take back words
I swear I could save your life
No one knows how bad this hurts
Taken too soon
You know I lost the best in me
To go on without you
I lay you down to sleep
Goodnight, goodnight
This pain won't last forever
I'll bury this, bury this inside
Please don't say goodbye
Goodnight, goodnight
It doesn't mean forever
I'll bury this, bury this inside
(Hofstede/Kloet/Stips - Hofstede)
[All over the song: Goodnight]
Someone sings
In a sweet voice
Tonight
Everything's all right
Mother is coming
Up the stairs
She tells a story
Of a manetee
Someone sings
In a sweet voice
Tonight
Now that I
Face the world with pain inside
Strange but I
Can't understand the reasons why.
Forever is
A world that I cannot describe
That Died the time we said goodnight.
It makes no difference, wrong or right
The time has come to say goodnight.
And how could I
Be so sure but be so wrong?
And how could I?
Have a will so weak with a mind so strong?
And Only I
Can tell the difference right or wrong.
It makes no difference, wrong or right
I want so much to cry
and then turn around and hide
under my tears,away from you
Please try and feel some pride
show me that you don’t know how
to show me you know,
to tell me you love me
Now I’m old enough to know
that this will never be but I don’t care
I want you to know, I’ve always looked
for your secret, tender smile. Let’s say goodnight….
The only way that you can show
how you care and how you love
is to hurt me and hide yourself
Now I’m old enough to know
years have passed and years will go
but you will never
Close your eyes
And I could slide with you
There's nothing I can do
To stop us falling
Our candle died
And now we count the cost
When all of the friends we've lost
Return to haunt us
Sleep, girl
Sleep as the smoke curls
It's better to lose than just
To wish you'd tried
My bright crown
Can't stop us dying down
And maybe I failed at life
But how could I mind?
With you asleep in my arms
Tonight
Please forget
Whatever we fought about
When I made your tears cry out
A silent chorus
We left the road
To stray on whispered hills
Where magic and love breathe still
Behind our doors
Sleep, girl
Sleep as the smoke curls
For how could I argue when
You're always right
Oh, don't start
It's not like you broke my heart
You just derailed my life
But how could I mind?
With you asleep in my arms
How I long to feel the warmth in the sadness
As the sun reappears through the break of dawn
Like a note, black and white
When you dance, you will learn
When you learn, you will turn
When you turn, you will look
When you look, you will have what you own
To find a resting place 'neath the shadow
Of the love we once erased, means we hide no more
Like a note, black and white
When you dance, you will learn
When you learn, you will turn
When you turn, you will look
When you look, you will have what you own
But I must never walk you home
For there are many a things I've learned
Goodnight, my lover
I'm thinking of her
But I must never let you know
And all through the night, like a rag doll
I could hear her move, I could hear you call
Like a note, black and white
When you dance, you will learn
When you learn, you will turn
When you turn, you will look
When you look, you will have what you own
And I must never walk you home
For there are many a things I've learned
Goodnight, my lover
I'm thinking of her
But I must never let you know
Sing a song for me, now baby
Sing a song for me, my love
Sing a song for me, now darling
Sing a song for me, my love
Sing a song for me, now baby
Sing a song for me, my love
Sing a song for me, now darling
Tonight I know, you're letting go
And there are many things I've learned
Tonight, I'll be the one that had to let you go
And tonight, I'll be the first that had to let you know
It hurts so much to see you
Now, the fear, it stands between you
And tonight, I'll be the one that had to let you go
For tonight, I'll be the first that had to let you know
Does it hurt so much to see you?
Now, the fear, it stands between you
And tonight, I'll be the one that had to let you go
For tonight, I'll be the first that had to let you know
And it hurts so much to see you
Now, the fear, it stands between you
And tonight, I'll be the one that had to let you go
And tonight, I'll be the first that had to let you know
Goodnight, my lover
I'm thinking of her
But I must never let you know
She said, ?Goodnight, my lover?
I'm thinking of her
Good evening to the sun
Might I be the only one
Who sleeps through melodies of morning
while they wake
This chirping lullaby
Brings my little dreams to life
In my sanctuary I become a child
So goodbye to the sun
Goodnight
All pain will be gone for a while
A while, goodnight
Heaven's windows are the stars
You were watching me from where you are
But we're divided by the light
When morning starts
So goodbye to the sun
Goodnight
All pain will be gone for a while
A while, goodnight
Goodbye to the sun
Goodnight
All pain will be gone for a while
A while
Goodbye to the sun
Goodnight
All pain will be gone for a while
A while, goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight
Sleepless nights don't bother me at all
If dawn comes I won't worry
Something deep inside keeps me awake
Wish that you were here right beside me
Recall when I was very young
And could not go to sleep
My father sang me songs to make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So goodnight
Wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream
You dream of me.
Oh goodnight
Wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream
You dream of me
Now I lie awake and it's no fun
Tossing and turning
I'd call you if it weren't so very late
But telephones don't bring you close to me
I recall the times we stayed up late
Wide awake but still dreaming
There was nothing on this earth could make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So goodnight
Wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream
You dream of me.
Goodnight
Wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream
This is the life I have to live
With the sorrows and pain in my heart
Why can't this feeling just fade away
When it's giving me somany reasons to cry
You're gone and it's just me I'm on my own
Everything I feel inside
All in time I know will heal
This tears that bring pain to me heart
Are for the things thatI couldn't tell you
It hurts to know you're gone forever
But I only say goodnight to you
Cus I know we'll meet again soon
There was so much we had to say
But there was so little time
If only I could turn back the time
I would tell you everything I wanted you to know
Now you're gone and it's just me I'm on my own
Everything I feel inside
All in time I know will heal
This tears that bring pain to me heart
Are for the things thatI couldn't tell you
It hurts to know you're gone forever
But I only say goodnight to you
Cus I know we'll meet again soon
I'v just got somany reasons to cry
Cus you were such a special person
There's no one in this life
Who can ever take your place
There's no way I can ever forget you
Cus you know
This tears that bring pain to me heart
Are for the things thatI couldn't tell you
It hurts to know you're gone forever
But I only say goodnight to you
Cus I know we'll meet again soon
I only say goodnight to you
I hold you closely, you push me away,
I want forever, you just want today.
Give me your fingers, wash out your mouth,
bite off my tongue on this bloody couch.
But I don't blame you, you're always right.
I'm like a bad day on your good, good night.
I hear the tick of a bomb, all your hair in a fuse,
you ask me for a light to blow away these blues.
Run me a bath then plug me in,
I'm like a TV learning to swim.
But I don't blame you, you're always right.
I'm like a bad day on your good, good night.
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmmm.
I hold you closely, you push me away,
I want forever, you just want today.
Give me your fingers, wash out your mouth,
bite off my tongue on this bloody couch.
But I don't blame you, you're always right.
I'm like a bad day on your good, good night.
But I don't blame you, you're always right.
I'm like a bad day on your good, good, good, goodnight.
Goodnight, can't wait till I wake,
I'm cursed beyond this time
Well, I've been waiting for it
It's been a long time
The time is now
You made the choice
No I can't blame you,
I just can't, but I want to
And if it's sink or swim or who I am?
I'll say I'm honest then I'll just disregard you
I've never been this thankful for what I've done
This is doing what is right
And the cost became the price
If you want it, I'll pay it all again
[2x]
Goodnight, can't wait till I wake,
I'm cursed beyond this time
Well, I've been waiting for it
It's been a long time
The worst is yet to come!
Dig, there's blood in the sand
You are the one in the mud
With the dirt on your hands
These five words will bring you down
The gun in your hand the gun in your hand
[2x]
Shake baby
Or get off of the floor
Get off of the floor!
[2x]
Goodnight, can't wait till I wake,
I'm cursed beyond this time
Well, I've been waiting for it
Light
Round and round with tickled toes
Bare-bummed, we all fall
Arms and charm in living room
We play the Star Wars
Next door
My bed is shared with Matthew
And I love the sweet kiss
I love
Our battles in our dreams
Be nestled snuggly,
Cry on
Luke, boy, did you bring the X-wing fighter?
I'm bent to please inside my armor
I will not...(yeah) fail
A wookie Chewbacca, Jabba, and all his friends love
Boba Fett's men representing the Clone Wars
Restore, we all fall downward
Did you bring the X-wing fighter?
I'm bent to please inside my armor
I will fail
I'd give it up if I were you (oh oh oh)
Never, please, and I was more (than)
[x3]
I'd give up if I were you
Goodnight [x3]
Whoa oh oh
Summer, she's gone but I remain
Summer, she gazed upon what I could know and
Remembered it all fall downward
Did you bring the X-wing fighter?
I'm bent to please inside my armor
I will not
I'd give it up if I were you (oh oh oh)
Never, please, and I was more (than)
[x3]
The crowd drifts away
The music's beginning to fade
The last notes have been played
As we drift out of sight
From a young girl selling a rose
Where the neon lights' flicker were closed
On a street where nobody goes
When they turn out the lights
Oh, but you and I
Well, our future looks bright
But for now, goodnight
It won't be long
There's something inside us so strong
And we both know we belong
And we'll hold on tight
Like a child with a big balloon
Like the earth holds on to the moon
Like Eve on a hot afternoon taking a bite
And if you don't go now we just might
So for now, goodnight
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
Is that the time?
Just one more glass of wine
And I probably will make you mine
But it wouldn't be right
One day our flame will ignite
Goodnight my love, goodnight
May all your dreams come true
And may God be with you
Goodnight my love, goodnight
Now close your sleepy eyes
And sail into the skies
When you wake at night
I'll be with you, goodnight
Yes, may God be with you
Goodnight my love, goodnight
It's too late, the sky's performing
we must have missed our warning sign that day
there's so much that we've no longer got
as my eyes move down across your face
i remember songs that brought us in the corner of your room
you held too close for both of us, till nothing touched could move
i know, it doesn't silence anyone
so what could anyone say
there's been but two meanings in our lives
what you want and what i can't hide
the fallen cry, the empty driveway lights don't take me home
you held too close for both of us
till nothing said was known
because i know a place i'm going to, like nowhere that you've been
goodnight, goodnight
the fallen cry, the empty driveway lights don't take me home
you held too close for both of us till nothing said was known
i remeber songs that brought us in the corner of your room
you held too close for both of us till nothing said was known
the time is over goodnight
leaving us the way i thought it might
cause i know a place i'm going to like nowhere that you've been
Last night we watched our favorite tv shows
you packed my lunch for wednesday's shift, i laid out my clothes
i took my time to say goodnight before you closed your eyes
the hallway light reveals how you were taking up my side
that dress you wore is faded to the ivory that remains
the frame of wedding pictures looks ten years out of date
the toaster's been replaced since we even thanked them for the thought
the last time that we kissed, i saw you checking out the clock
what about now she says to herself and what about now?
what about now she says to herself, she says to herself.
the council of the wise can be the only way you go
(aunt gina cleansed)? in alcohol will somehow let us know
your mom and dad were right to tell us maybe we should wait
yet ten years down the road it seems maybe it's too late
what about now she says to herself and what about now?
what about now she says to herself she says to herself
goodnight
goodnight
i wish you'd stay
Dry away the tears
Lay aside your fears
No more pain, for my love
I am here, now go to sleep
And when the angels come
I know that they will treat you well
That they will pull you through
And lift you up from all that's held you down
There's a heaven up there
And it waits just for you
So close your eyes and dream
And there will be a world you once knew
A world without the pain
That has stuck with you for far too long
A world that does contain a love like mine
To watch you grow strong
And when my time arrives
Please wait and make a place for me
For when I do arrive
Your face should be the first face I see
So dry away the tears
Lay aside your fears
No more pain, for my life
It is time
The songs are sung and all the kisses kissed
And our lover sleeps beside us
Sweetly tired after bliss
I have no faith or hope in innocence
Wrap my legs around the learning
Open up my eyes to sight
I feel every second burning
And I just don’t wanna say goodnight
Time with you is much too short for me
So can I have another thousand years or maybe two
please?
Enough to find the joy in everything
Time to taste the life we’re chasing
Time to love and get it right
I feel all my moments racing
And I just don’t wanna say goodnight
I am still your true companion
We might have a hundred lovers
I just want to know them while my heart is still
beating...
I want to follow possibilities
And every new love reinvents our old virginity
There’s room in us for more than you and me
I want time enough to find them
Time to know them in the light
If every second is a lifetime
Then I still don’t want to say goodnight
Goodnight my friends
I'm glad you've come around
You've been so down
Oh the joy of seeing you smile so wide
I don't need anything
These broken shoes
Have done some walking and
Though all these holes
We touch the ground and it feels like home
I don't need anything
Don't look and you wont find
It's always worth your time
I love you and goodnight
Goodnight
I said this hurt
It wont last forever and
This time I'm right
As you turn to me and you smile so wide
I don't need anything
This lucky day
Its been a long time coming and
All that we've done
It wont be forgotten. Goodnight
Goodnight
Don't look and you wont find
It's always worth your time
I love you and goodnight
Goodnight
(instrumental)
Play back this tape I swear you'll see
I only wanted you to be with me
Oh, Kill The Last Romantic
IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS, SUCH A WONDERFUL RELEASE
FOR THE CRADLE MADE THAT WILL HOLD US IN PEACE
YOU MARCH AROUND, TILL YOUR HANDS GET SO FULL
ALL THE WORK THAT SPEEDS YOUR TIME THAT YOU DO
I LOCK MYSELF, AWAY IN MY ROOM
AND WON’T REFLECT WHAT I’M FEELING FOR YOU
TORN BETWEEN DREAM AND GOOD WILL
BUT DISTRACTED BY YOUR LIPS THAT FULFILL
HE NEVER WANTED HER TO GO,
ALONE TONIGHT
HE NEVER WISHED THAT SHE WOULD GO,
WITHOUT ONE LAST GOODNIGHT
BED IS COLD, AND NAKED SHE FINDS
HIS VOICE ECHOES SOFTLY IN HER MIND
TOSS AND TURN AND WAIT FOR A SOUND
BUT HER ONLY TRUE SENSE IS WALKING AROUND
LIGHTLY SLEEP A BEAUTIFUL GRACE
IN THE HOPE TO FIND MY BREATHE ON HER FACE
TORN BETWEEN DREAM AND GOOD WILL
BUT DISTRACTED BY YOUR LIPS THAT FULFILL
HE NEVER WANTED HER TO GO,
ALONE TONIGHT
HE NEVER WISHED THAT SHE WOULD GO,
