Averi Goodnight Goodbye Lyrics

Goodnight Goodbye Lyrics

The lights are off

The wind blows the falling snow

It’s matched by the sound of your breath

And the tremor of your hands

As I’m seated by your bed

Attempting to find the right words to leave the room with



And I don’t know what I believe

As you clutch your rosary beads

All these years, they’re laid out in an evening

With the opening of your eyes

All these things rush through my mind

But the only thing I can say is that which I’m certain…



So sleep, if your tired eyes are closing

Don’t be afraid anymore

Just sleep, if you’re tired of fighting

Let it be peaceful tonight



I’m sorry for all the times

I was selfish and unkind

All these years that I’ve had with you and this is what I’m left with

With the closing of your eyes

All these things clog up my mind

But the only thing we said was that which mattered most



So sleep, if your tired eyes are closing

Don’t be afraid anymore

Just sleep, if you’re tired of fighting

Let it be peaceful tonight

Sleep well

Goodnight, Goodbye



With the lights still off

I study your frail body

And what all these living days has left you with

With your breath across the room

And my hand upon the door

I realize then, that the hardest part will always be leaving



Sleep well

Goodnight, Goodbye.
