Lyrics

Empty hands, take them, love, i'm falling
Into the dark, i hear the night bird calling,
The heart is full; it's full and nearly bursting,
Time goes by, this night seems never ending

Good night, Gracie
Good night, Gracie
Good night, Gracie
I'll leave the porch-light on for you tonight

A pretty girl, a sure sign for disaster
Like minor chords, on broken telecasters
The heart is sore; it's sore and needing mending
Time crawls by, this night seems never ending

Good night, Gracie
Good night, Gracie
Good night, Gracie
I'll leave the porch-light on for you tonight
