It's a Pity to Say Goodnight
Embracing Love's Dilemma: Goodnight's Tender Regret
Lyrics
What a shame the night is ending, cross my heart I'm not pretending
Expressing regret that the night is coming to an end, emphasizing sincerity
You look grand sitting in the moonlight
Complimenting the person's appearance while seated in the moonlight
Oh I'm in love there's no mistaking, can't you see my heart is breaking
Confirming deep romantic feelings, indicating visible emotional distress
Must you go on this lovely June night
Asking if the person must leave on this beautiful June night
It's a pity to say goodnight because I never saw stars so bright
Expressing regret at the thought of ending the night due to the brightness of the stars
But if you gotta go home, you gotta go home, give me a goodnight kiss
Accepting the necessity of leaving but requesting a goodnight kiss
It's a pity to say farewell because the man in the moon won't tell
Expressing regret at bidding farewell because the moon cannot reveal secrets
But if you gotta go home,you gotta go home give me a goodnight kiss.
Resigned to the idea of leaving but asking for a goodnight kiss
How's about tomorrow night just you and me
Suggesting meeting again the next night
I'll be waiting for you darling underneath the apple tree
Expressing anticipation of waiting beneath an apple tree for the person
It's a pity to say goodnight because I want you to hold me tight
Expressing reluctance to say goodnight because of the desire to be held tightly
But if you gotta go home, you gotta go home give me a goodnight kiss
Accepting the necessity of departure but asking for a goodnight kiss
It's a pity to say farewell because the man up in the moon won't tell, won't tell
Regretting saying farewell as the moon cannot disclose secrets
If you gotta go home, go home, go home give me a goodnight kiss
Acknowledging the need to leave but requesting a goodnight kiss
How's about tomorrow night just you and me
Reiterating the suggestion of meeting the next night
I'll be waiting for you darling underneath the apple tree
Expressing eagerness to wait under the apple tree for the person
It's a pity, pity just to say goodnight because I want you to hold me tight
Expressing regret at the thought of saying goodnight, desiring to be held tightly
But if you gotta go home dear, you gotta go home dear, give me a goodnight kiss
Acknowledging the necessity of departing but asking for a goodnight kiss
