Cygnet Song Lyrics

Time for one more, the Coda Adagio
Sing a little swan song, there's just the time for one more
Lights have gone out, the signal to move along
Sing a little swan song and then we'll get along home

One last drink for the band
I slip out the side to avoid the goodbye
Good night, good life

You were always my favorite
You were always my favorite
You were always my favorite way to say good night

Save your sadness for something that might be fixed
Sing a little swan song and then we'll get along home
Nights are brighter with someone to hold you up
Sing a little swan song, there's just the time for one more

One last drink for the band
I slip out the side to avoid the goodbye
Good night, good life

You were always my favorite
You were always my favorite way to say
You were always my favorite
You were always my favorite way to say good night
Good night, good night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
