Full Lyrics
Goodnight? ah! no; the hour is ill
Which severs those it should unite;
Let us remain together still,
Then it will be goodnight.
How can I call the lone night good,
Though thy sweet wishes wing its flight?
Be it not said, thought, understood
Then it will be goodnight.
To hearts which near each other move
From evening close to morning light,
The night is good; because, my love,
They never say goodnight.
