John Prine - Sweet Suzanne lyrics

rate me

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' Cousins" (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

(repeat last verse)
