Goodnight - William Fitzsimmons

Last night we watched our favorite tv shows

You packed my lunch for wednesday's shift

I laid out my clothes

I took my time to say goodnight

Before you closed your eyes

The hallway light reveals how

You were taking up my side

That dress you wore is faded

To the ivory that remains

The frame of wedding pictures

Looks ten years out of date

The toaster's been replaced

Since we even thanked them for the thought

The last time that we kissed

I saw you checking out the clock

What about now she says to herself

And what about now

What about now she says to herself

She says to herself

The council of the wise

Can be the only way you go

(aunt gina cleansed) in alcohol

Will somehow let us know

Your mom and dad were right to tell

Us maybe we should wait

Yet ten years down the road

It fells it's ok maybe it's too late

What about now she says to

Herself and what about now

What about now she says to

Herself she says to herself

Goodnight

Goodnight

I wish you'd stay

I wish you'd stay

I wish you'd stay

I wish you'd stay
