"Sweet Suzanne" lyrics - JAMES MCMURTRY

Now, Right now,
Look at the place I' m in,
When I think about things that I could have done
It's impossible for me tp pretend.
But I see it now as the lights grow dim
And the world starts to close its eyes.
I just wanted to say goodnight,
Sweet Suzanne.
I hear the music playin'
But I no longer understand,
Around the corner, down the street
I'ts got to be better than where I am.
I see it all now, as the light grows dim
And the world starts to close its eyes.
I just wanted to say goodnight,
Sweet Suzanne.
I just wanted to say goodnight,
Just wanted to see if everything was all right,
Just wanted to say goodnight,
Sweet Suzanne.
Time goes by
Oh, so quietly,
Hazy days and memories
And in the end there was only me.
Wouldn't have been, I ask sometimes,
But I see myself inside this rhyme.
Enjoyed what I had back then,
Would I do it again?
Well, I see it now
As the lights grow dim
I just wanted to say goodnight,
Sweet Suzanne.
I just wanted to say goodnight,
I just wanted to see if everything's all right
Just wanted to say goodnight,
Sweet Suzanne.
I just wanted to say goodnight,
I just wanted to see if everything' s all right,
I just wanted to say goodnight,
Sweet Suzanne.
