The Magnetic Fields - The Way You Said Good-Night lyrics

So faraway and so alone how could I ever take you home

You're beautiful, beautiful You've got a devastating point of view

and everything you say is true You're beautiful, beautiful

The nightbirds start to sing their favorite song:

"The Way you Say Good-Night" The nightbirds start to sing

their favorite song and the moon begins to sing I kiss you

and the sun goes down How come it's always dark when you're around

You're beautiful, beautiful The nightbirds start to sing

their favorite song The moon begins to sing You're beautiful, beautiful

The stars begin their Busby Berkeley dance: "The Way You Say Good-Night"

and the night becomes a musical extravaganza: The Way You Say Good-Night

The way you say good-night I dream of all day long Oh, I could write a song

about the way you say good-night...
