I'LL KISS YOU GOODNIGHT (Pete Ham)
[Iveys demo from "How Much Is The Sky (The Iveys Anthology Vol. 4)" CD - recorded 1967 - released 2024]

Baby, don't cry
I'll kiss you goodnight

Couples are drifting out of view
Seems that the odd one out was you
Underneath the sky, you cry
Thinking of the times you could have had with him

Baby, don't cry (baby, don't cry)
I'll kiss you goodnight
Baby, don't cry (baby, don't cry)
I'll kiss you goodnight

Counting the stars, you seem so sad
Maybe tomorrow, you'll be glad
All you have to do is hope
And you'll get the world all wrapped in cellophane

Baby, don't cry (baby, don't cry)
I'll kiss you goodnight
Baby, don't cry

Good luck will pass you someday
And then you'll know what life is all about

People walk past you down the lane
But you just stare at them in vain
Hoping that you'll see the one
Who will comfort you and make your world complete (someone is waiting and hoping for you)

But until then (but until then)
I'll kiss you goodnight
But until then (but until then)
I'll kiss you goodnight

I'll kiss you goodnight
