The Way You Say Goodnight

The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 2 [1999]

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



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



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
