Say Goodnight Lyrics
What if daddy was right?
What if there's no forever?
Would you kiss me goodnight
So that I could remember?
Keep you frozen in time
Like they do in the pictures
And if I close my eyes
Would I still think of patience
Stay with me, don't disappear
To tell the truth, I need you here
I'm afraid, I can barely breathe
I need your words to comfort me
Say goodnight,
Would you say goodnight?
What if daddy was right?
And I knew all the answers?
Well they could give me the world,
But that wouldn't matter
And if the gates open wide,
And make you an angel
Through tears in my eyes,
I'll save your seat at the table
So stay with me, don't disappear
To tell the truth, I need you here
I'm afraid, I can barely breathe
I need your words to comfort me
Say goodnight
Would you say goodnight?
What if there's no forever?
Would you kiss me goodnight
So that I could remember?
Like they do in the pictures
And if I close my eyes
Would I still think of patience
To tell the truth, I need you here
I'm afraid, I can barely breathe
I need your words to comfort me
Say goodnight,
Would you say goodnight?
And I knew all the answers?
Well they could give me the world,
But that wouldn't matter
And make you an angel
Through tears in my eyes,
I'll save your seat at the table
To tell the truth, I need you here
I'm afraid, I can barely breathe
I need your words to comfort me
Say goodnight
Would you say goodnight?

This song is such a beautiful work of art. Cher has a way of connecting with people through lyrics, and this song truly made me emotional when I first heard it.
Cher has always been a daddy's girl and she originally intended it to be for her father (however it can easily be directed to a mother). It's saying how whenever she is scared of the world, will her father comfort her. How, every time she goes to bed, will he be there to say goodnight. And when the day comes, where he then becomes an angel, she will save his seat at the table.
A truly amazing song for all of the daddy's girls out there.
Could not agree more with you, amber.
