It's A Pity To Say Goodnight (Stereo)
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
But if you gotta go home, you gotta go home, give me a goodnight kiss
It's a pity to say farewell because the man in the moon won't tell
But if you gotta go home, you gotta go home, give me a goodnight kiss
How's about tomorrow night, just you and me
I'll be waiting for you darlin', underneath the apple tree
It's a pity to say goodnight because I want you to hold me tight
But if you gotta go home, you gotta go home, give me a goodnight kiss
How's about tomorrow night, just you and me
I'll be waiting for you darlin', underneath the apple tree
It's a pity to say goodnight because I want you to hold me tight
But if you gotta go home, you gotta go home
You gotta go home, you gotta go home
You gotta go home, you gotta go home, give me a goodnight kiss
