[Intro – tremolo guitar and upright bass] When I saw you standing there Underneath the diner light I pretended not to stare But my heart was beating wild tonight You walked slowly to my side Asked if I would dance with you When you held me close that night Every dream I had came true ⸻ Darling don’t say goodnight yet Stay with me a while When you hold my hand like this I forget the world outside Darling don’t say goodbye now Let the music play Every little word you say Takes my lonely heart away ⸻ The jukebox plays a tender song Couples swaying side by side When you whisper soft and low I can’t keep these feelings hid Maybe I’m a foolish girl Dreaming more than I should do But the way you look tonight Makes me fall in love with you ⸻ Darling don’t say goodnight yet Stay with me a while When you hold my hand like this I forget the world outside Darling don’t say goodbye now Let the music play Every little word you say Takes my lonely heart away ⸻ If the night could last forever We would never drift apart But until the morning comes I’ll keep you close inside my heart ⸻ Darling don’t say goodnight yet Stay with me a while When you hold my hand like this I forget the world outside Darling don’t say goodbye now Let the music play Every little word you say Takes my lonely heart away.
