Goodnight Girl Lyrics
And see how I try
So you feel me, So heal me
And tear me apart
I won?t tell at all
And do they have to know, do they have to know
About my Goodnight Girl
Your hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
You make them last, make them last, make them last
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart
I won?t tell at all (I won?t tell at all)
And I won?t let them know (I won?t let them know)
About my Goodnight Girl
Your hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
You make them last
Caught up in your wishing well
Your hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
You make them last
I made ya
Doesn?t matter how hard
I try
Old reason
Reflected in your eyes
You said you wanted me, hmmm
Your hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
You make them last
Caught up in your wishing well
Your hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
You make them last
Its about a guy wo hasfallen in love with this girl, but because of something to do with her, he can't tell anyone. They always have to say 'goodnight' because they can't be together, hence the 'goodnight girl'. And he is telling her to make sure she keeps te promises of love she has mae to him, because he already loves her! He is becoming uncertain if the relationship means as much to her as it does to him, so he is reminding her of what she said, and what it means to him. <3
To the one you never kiss and tell...
OH! And, he is promising her that he will keep her sec,and wont tell anyone, because that is hw much she means to him <3
It's about forbidden love in some form or other.i agree with casadelia,i thought it was about him being in love with a prostitute or a girl with low sexual morals 'a goodnight girl'.However he can't committ to her ''I wont tell a soul/do they have to know'' because of the stigma of being seen with her.Or it could even be about adultery,he's married/in relationship but seeing this other woman on the sly yet at the end of the day it's a forbidden love that will never go beyond sex.
''I wont tell a soul/do they have to know'' because of the stigma of being seen with her." ~F You.

Yea that's what i meant,he wont committ cos of the stigma.The girl is obviously madly in love with him but he's telling her to go find some1 that will return the love ''take your love and promises/and make them last''.It's a heartbreaking song,we all being in love with some1 who pushes us aside at some time or another and thats what the song is-rejecting a forbidden love.

I can't believe that no-one has commented on this song?! It's great!
i have no idea and want to know actual meaning?
Could mean anything really its quite open to interpretation i think it could be about a girl who is seeing a guy but its all very secretive maybe even just sexual when they first meet thats why shes his goodnight girl cos they only really see eachother at night and nobody knows and hes not telling anyone. Then he falls for her and gets caught up in her world wanting the love he feels when they are together to be all the time he thinks/hopes she feels it too "reflected in your eyes". could be totally off the mark with this meaning though!!
I don't know if this is just me, but could this song be about prostitution? It kind of sounds to me like it's about a man who depends on a prostitute to heal him and make his life worth living, but he still keeps his relationship with her a secret. He keeps promising her that he'll love her forever, but in reality, his promises are as shallow as the wishes made into a wishing well, and however much he loves her and however much they both need each other, he can never tell anyone because she's still a prostitute and he's afraid of the stigma, so no one can ever know about his goodnight girl.
I know I will get bashed for this but I find the words to this song a little unsettling. After marti pellow did a song for child line and then wrote this . "I won't tell a soul I won't tell at all Do they have to know About my goodnight girl"
I agree that it could be an affair. The lyrics fit, '' Do they have to know, about my goodnight girl? '' It could be that they ring or text each other every night to talk and say '' Goodnight'. ' Maybe one of them is in a relationship they can' t end because there are children involved, or the partner needs them emotionally, so they grab whatever time they can get together as it is better than nothing, even though they know they will probably never be able to be together properly.
