Lyrics The Magnetic Fields

The Magnetic Fields

The Way You Say Good-Night

So faraway and so alone how could I ever take you home

You're beautiful, beautiful

You've got a devastating point of view

and everything you say is true

You're beautiful, beautiful

The nightbirds start to sing their favorite song:

"The Way you Say Good-Night"

The nightbirds start to sing their favorite song

and the moon begins to sing

I kiss you and the sun goes down

How come it's always dark when you're around

You're beautiful, beautiful

The nightbirds start to sing their favorite song

The moon begins to sing You're beautiful, beautiful

The stars begin their Busby Berkeley dance:

"The Way You Say Good-Night"

and the night becomes a musical extravaganza:

The Way You Say Good-Night

The way you say good-night

I dream of all day long

Oh, I could write a song about the way you say good-

night...
