Good Night Lyrics
I'm not sure anymore-more
Who is knocking at my door-door
All the faces that I know
You make them sunny and new
I don't wanna say goodbye to you
So I'll just say good night to you
My people, no goodbyes to you
I'm just gonna say good night
Right now I can see it so vivid
Like it was just yesterday like I could relive it
Me and my grandparents on a field trid-ip
And I'm the little kid tryna touch the exhibits
But it'll fade before I get to get a hold of that
Man I wish I could stop time like a photograph
Every joke that they told I'd know to laugh
Man, man I wouldn't let a moment pass
What do it mean when you dream that you fallin'
What do it mean when you dream that you ballin'
What do it mean when you never dream at all then
And you don't really know cause you can't recall them
It's sorta fly you get a chance to say hi to
People you never got a chance to say bye to
Maybe you could pull em up outta your dreams
Into real life, if you try to
So close, but so far
And so far, no cigar
We can't dwell on the day PAST all we got is today
No goodbye
I don't wanna say goodbye to you
So I'll just say good night to you
My people, no goodbyes to you
I'm just gonna say good night
Uhh, to you
If I part my heart will live through you
Dream beautiful and unusual
Wake up like everyday new to you
Stay true to you, a hood musical
My art will live through you
Dream beautiful and unusual
Wake up like everyday new to you
Stay true to you, a hood musical
I don't wanna say goodbye to you
So I'll just say good night to you
My people, no goodbyes to you
I'm just gonna say good night
I'm not sure anymore-more
Who is knocking at my door-door
All the faces that I know
You make them sunny and new
I can't believe i'm gonna be the first to do this song. The meaning is obvious from the lyrics, hold on to your past while you can and cherish it. And when you get older and look back, remember who you wanted to be and stay true to yourself.
I think this song is about remenicing about the past, remembering the people in your life that gave you joy and love and grieving that they are no longer with you. Not wanting to let go of those people and wishing you could 'pull them out of a dream' because you never got to actually say goodbye to them. But rather than dwell on the past, regreting not having had that opportunity to say goodbye and grieving for thr loss you feel in missing them, you'll say goodnight, not goodbye...because they're not gone, they stay alive in your memories...those people...

Just heard this song.. Can't believe I missed a bonus song for a month O.O It's one of the strongest on the CD though.. Love it.
i wish kanye had more lines in this song
This wasn't on the American release of Graduation, if i recall correctly was only on the UK version. Which is fuckin stupid, even for a song that was only halfway finished.
Ye's verse is awesome and kind of makes you want to cry, especially considering his Mom's tragedy after the CD came out.
And Mos Def, even in his guest appearances, is so damn likable and poetic it's ridiculous. Even in Drunk and Hot Girls, Mos is great (altho I hate the song).
It's a shame no one knows this song. This is easily one of his best. Great, great tune and beat.
one of the most beautiful songs ever
ive never even heard this song and i almost cried just from reading the lyrics. the whole Kanye verse is beautiful.
