I Love The Way You Say Goodnight (with The Norman Luboff Choir & The Buddy Cole Quartet) Songtext
von Doris Day

It′s been a wonderful evening
Everything turned out just right
But for me the best time of the evening
Is the time spent saying good night

I love the way
You say goodnight
I kinda like the way you mumble when you fumble for the key
Mhhm, mhhm, mhhm, more time for kissing me

I love the way (I love the way)
You say (you say) goodnight
(The extra ordinary way you say good night)
I kinda like the way you linger with your finger on the bell
Mhhm, mhhm, mhhm, more kisses and they're swell

When you say "gotta get home by twelve"
I always say let′s go
But you can take longer to say good night
Than any three others I know


I love the way (I love the way)
You say (you say) goodnight
(The super duper special way you hold me tight)
I kinda like the way you snuggle while I juggle with my comb
Mhhm, mhhm, you're never, never, never going home

Here's the door (here′s the key)
Aren′t you tired awaiting for little ole me
(I could go on waiting all night)
(As long as while I'm waiting, I keep holding you tight)
(′Cause I love the way) I love the way
(You say) you say (goodnight)
The way you leave me flying higher than a kite
I kinda like the way you linger, with your finger on the bell
(Mhhm, mhhm, mhhm, more kisses and they're swell)
When I say gotta get home by tvelwe
You always say "let′s go"
But you can take longer to say good night
Than any three others I know

I love the way
(I kinda like the way) you say
(The super special way) goodnight
You hug and squeeze me while you kiss me nighty-night
I like the way you snuggle while I juggle with my comb


Mhhm, mhhhm, mhhm, you're never, never, never, never
Never, never, never going home
