Good Night But Not Goodbye Lyrics by Bea Arthur

The Star Wars Holiday Special

1978

Just one more round, friend
Then homeward bound, friend
Don't forget me in your dreams
Just one more song, friend
The night's get shorter it seems
Just one more rhyme, friend
Yes, it's a crime, friend
But you know time, friend
Time can fly
So it's goodnight, friend
Goodnight, but not goodbye
Just one more drop, friend
Before we stop, friend
One more moment face to face
Next time you're dry, friend
Try stopping by, friend
If there's a light in the place
We may not cry, friend
But we survive, friend
Look, we're alive, friend. You and I

So say goodnight, friend
Goodnight, but not goodbye

Just one more dance, friend
Just one more chance, friend
One more chorus, one more tune
It's not the end, friend
If you're a friend, friend
Then you come back to me soon
But it's too late, pal
To celebrate, pal
You have to wait, pal
Don't you cry
Now, it's goodnight, friend
Goodnight friend
Goodnight friend
Follow me!

You're such a dear, friend
You know I'm here, friend
Is that a tear, friend
In your eye?
Now, it's goodnight, friend
Goodnight friend

Goodnight but not...
