It was funded by MuchFACT, a collaborative venture between FACTOR and MuchMusic.

**Lyrics**
[Chorus]

I don't wanna kiss goodnight

I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna close my eyes

I just wanna stay here forever

[Verse 1]

Lying here in silence

So in love but so afraid

I'm not gonna deny it

I have never felt this way

Time is slipping away

And we both know that I can't stay

And time, is not on our side

So let's make the most of our last night

[Chorus]

I don't wanna kiss good night

I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna close my eyes

I just wanna stay here forever

'Cause I know in the morning you'll be gone

How am I supposed to carry on

I don't wanna kiss good night

I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna close my eyes

I just wanna stay here forever

[Verse 2]

We're not gonna surrender

Let's stay awake 'til the sun comes up

Just one night have to remember

Save your tears, cause you know it rains this time of the year

It's time, so let's do this right

'Cause we ain't got all night

It's time to hold you tight

'Cause we're only minutes from goodbye

[Chorus]

I don't wanna kiss good night

I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna close my eyes

I just wanna stay here forever

'Cause I know in the morning you'll be gone

How am I supposed to carry on

I don't wanna kiss good night

I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna close my eyes

I just wanna stay here forever

[Bridge]

Now the night is over

We both know what it means

Lying here, watching the sun come up

It's like waking from a dream, yeah!

I don't wanna kiss goodnight

I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna close my eyes

I just wanna stay here forever

[Chorus 2]

I don't wanna kiss goodnight

I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna close my eyes

I just wanna stay here forever (Stay here forever)

'Cause I know in the morning you'll be gone (You'll be gone)

How am I supposed to carry on? (Supposed to carry on)

I don't wanna kiss goodnight (Goodnight)

I just wanna stay here forever

[Outro]

Forever (Ever)

Oh, oh

[Chorus: Tyler Shaw, *Nathalie Noël*]

I don't wanna to kiss goodnight

*Je veux seulement rester seule avec toi*

I don't wanna close my eyes

*Seulement faire durer les heures dans tes bras*

[Verse 1: Nathalie Noël, '*Tyler Shaw*]

Dehors la nuit se lance

Le temps file entre nos doigts

Mon coeur hurle en silence

Mon amour ne t'en vas pas

*Time is slipping away*

*And we both know that I can't stay*

Je sais, c'est le temps qui gagne

Pour le meilleur d'une autre dernière fois

[Chorus: Tyler Shaw, *Nathalie Noël*]

I don't wanna to kiss goodnight

*Je veux seulement rester seule avec toi*

I don't wanna close my eyes

*Seulement faire durer les heures dans tes bras*

*Quand je sais qu'au matin tu n'seras pas là*

*Comment dois-je me revéiller sans toi?*

I don't wanna to kiss goodnight

*Seulement faire durer les heures dans tes bras*

[Verse 2: Nathalie Noël, *Tyler Shaw*]

Près de moi je te garde

Jusqu'au lever du soleil

En versant une larme

*Save your tears*

*'Cause it always rains this time of year*

*It's time, so let's do this right*

*'Cause we ain't got all night*

J'aimerais que le temps s'arrête

*'Cause we're only minutes from goodbye*

[Chorus: Tyler Shaw, *Nathalie Noël*]

I don't wanna to kiss goodnight

*Je veux seulement rester seule avec toi*

I don't wanna close my eyes

*Seulement faire durer les heures dans tes bras*

*Quand je sais qu'au matin tu n'seras pas là*

*Comment dois-je me revéiller sans toi?*

I don't wanna kiss goodnight

*Seulement faire durer les heures dans tes bras*

[Bridge: Tyler Shaw]

Now the night is over

We both know what it means

Lying here watching the sun come up is like

Waking from a dream

[Chorus 2: Tyler Shaw, *Nathalie Noël*]

*Je ne veux pas dormir ce soir*

I just wanna stay here forever

*Je ne veux pas dormir ce soir*

I just wanna stay here forever

I don't wanna to kiss goodnight

*Je veux seulement rester seule avec toi*

I don't wanna close my eyes

*Seulement faire durer les heures dans tes bras*

*Quand je sais qu'au matin tu n'seras pas là*

*Comment dois-je me revéiller sans toi?*

I don't wanna kiss goodnight

I just wanna stay here forever

[Outro: Tyler Shaw]

Forever

Oh oh

Oh oh
