I WISH WE DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY GOOD-NIGHT (from 'Something For the Boys')
Lyrics: Harold Adamson - Music: Jimmy McHugh 

Perry Como with the 20th Century-Fox studio orchestra


This night is too lovely to end;
I feel that it has no right to.
And you are too lovely, my friend,
Too lovely to say "good-night" to.

I wish we didn't have to say "Good-night".
I wish that I could stay and hold you tight.
I wish, I wish, I wish by every star above
That we could linger long enough to fall in love.

I hate to be the one to break away
When I've a heart that you could take away.
I hate to miss the kisses that your lips invite.
I wish we didn't have to say "Good-night".

Look at that moon, beaming out loud.
He knows that I'm dreaming out loud.
He sorta seems to say the time is right.
I wish we didn't have to say "Good-night".
