Goodnight Suzanne (Acoustic Version)

(jason bennett)
This is the saddest love song I have ever written. Bob Liepman's cello will tear your heart out.
Darkness is coming, I can hear it through the breeze. The city's falling asleep to the cries of the trees. And I can still hear you saying you need time to think it through. I've been quietly waiting since that november afternoon. And all I've got to say, is goodnight Suzanne. We walked through the days not knowing the time. Made love through the nights to your poems and rhymes. But I can still hear you saying you need time to think it through. Maybe it's the stars or maybe it's the moon. And all I've got to say is goodnight Suzanne. Well I gave you the sun and you turned it to rain. And you traded my love for pain. And the pebbles in the sand fall through my hand and spell out the words, "Goodnight Suzanne." So I'm painting by numbers and connecting the dots. Trying to piece together all these things that we've got. But I can still hear you saying you need time to think it through. Just remember all I ever wanted was to give my love to you. And all I've got to say is Goodnight Suzanne.......
