Goodnight Mr Matthews Lyrics

GOODNIGHT, MR. MATTHEWS (I. Davies)
-----------------------------------

I`m playing my cards on the table
no secrets, no sense of direction
its tough, baby, it`s no party
I said something
I lost a connection

And it`s all I can do
to forget about you
loving you is such a fascination
`cause I`ve loved you so long
and my love is so strong
but you know a certain party`s missing

I`ll sit by the window
now you sit anywhere that you want to
sitting i nthe sunshine
now we`re hoping, as we`re supposed to do

If I get down on my knees
would you forgive me, please
its only that my heart is aching
and it`s all over you
not a thing I can do
little pieces of my world are falling, it`s a
good night

"Goodnight, Mr. Matthews..
now, no talking .. the others are sleeping,
there`s always tomorrow ...."
.. better come back soon

`Cause I love only you
no other will do
loving you is such a fascination
and I`ve told you before
only you know the score
but you know a certain part is missing
if I go down on my knees
would you forgive me, please
it`s only that my heart is breaking
but it`s a very temporary thing
it just happens all the time
little pieces of my world are falling, it`s a
good night
