Taken from the o.s.t. falling from grace and starring john mellencamp and mariel hemingway and john prine. the song was written by john mellencamp and sung by the buzzin' cousi Ot (john prine, john mellencamp, dwight yoakam, ):
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 to pretend
Chorus But I see it now as the lights grow dim And the world starts to close it's eyes I just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne I hear the music playing, but I no longer understand Around the corner, down the street It's got to better than where I am
Repeat chorus
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 light grows dim I just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne I just wanted to say goodnight I just wanted to seee if everything's all right Just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne
