Say Goodnight

de Dolly Parton

The Bright Lights of the City Are a Pretty Site to See.
Perhaps They're Extra Pretty to a Country Girl Like Me.
Temptation Waits At Every Turn and It Won't Let Me Be.
So Mama, When You Pray Tonight, Say a Special Prayer For Me.
I Miss Your Tender Good-night Kiss
Of Love and Understanding.
The Good-night Kisses I Get Now,
Are Cruel and So Demanding.
So Mama When You Pray Tonight,
And While You're On Your Knees,
Mama Say a Special Prayer For Me.

The Nights Get Cold and Lonely When You're Faraway From Home,
And Lonely Makes It Easy For a Good Girl to Go Wrong.
Evil Eyes Search Through the Night For Lonely Girls Like Me,
So Mama When You Pray Tonight, Say a Special Prayer For Me.

I Miss Your Tender Good-night Kiss
Of Love and Understanding.
The Good-night Kisses I Get Now,
Are Cruel and So Demanding.
So Mama When You Pray Tonight,
And While You're On Your Knees,
Mama Say a Special Prayer For Me.
