Goodnight Poems for Your Girlfriend

  1. My Heart Is With You Why do we have to sleep apart, with you So far away? Why must our distance break my heart, knowing You cannot stay?Sleep well my beautiful, darling girl, and knowThat my love is true.And even though separated by miles, my dear,My heart is there with you.
  2. Three Little Words The three little words you spoke tonightHave magically turned me aroundAnd made me understand at last The depth of the love I have found.Goodnight my darling, I hope you knowThat I send the words back to you,And as you sleep remember these words: I’ll never stop loving you.
  3. Heartbeat Goodnight, goodnightBut I cannot sleep. My heart is beating too fast. It’s pounding so hard withLonging for you, and I know for sure,I’ve fallen in love at last.
  4. Night Visions It’s two in the morning and I can’t sleep.I see your face in the visions of the night.Your beauty is a soft and gentle memory Imprinted on my brain.Your love fills me with a peaceful refrain:Sleep well, my love, and knowThat as you sleep, you are loved so deeply,So deeply like the deep blue sea, the deepBlue of your eyes. The deep blueOf my heart when I’m without you By my side.
  5. A Thousand Tomorrows If I could wake up beside youAnd watch you as you sleep. Your grateful midnight soldier,A watchman on his keep.Your lovely face in quiet reposeYour hair spread outIn waves and rows.If I could wake beside youAnd watch you as you sleep.If I could reach out and touch your faceAnd give myself to you,I’d wrap myself around you and And hold you in my arms.I’d kiss you deep and tenderly andDelight in all your charms.But tonight I’m here without you,As you peacefully sleep alone.I’m here by myself in the midnight hourMy longing goes unknown.But tomorrow, tomorrow, and for a thousandTomorrows to come, when we shall meet again,I’ll hold you in my arms once more and Claim you as my own.
  6. The Close of Day Goodnight my darlingAt the close of this day,There’s something on my heartI am longing to say…You are my love, my life, and my world.You are my beautiful, perfect sweet girl.As you turn off the lights and close your eyes,Remember you’ve made me the happiest guy.
  7. The Memory of Your Lips I have just left you,But I can never leave you for long.We just kissed,But the memory of your lipsOn mine still burns. I can never leave you, but even soYou are there alone In your bed with yourBook, the one you just Told me about andWe laughed.And now, I am here.Thinking of you.So I’m not alone.
  8. This Night This is the night when I meantTo tell you how muchYou mean to me.This is the night I wanted to Say that my soul is filled withLove and desire for you.This is the night when my heartIs full with all the tenderness andJoy it can hold. All of these things are firmly true,But since you’re not here, and I’mNot there, I’ll justHold my words except to sayGoodnight to you.
  9. Reflections If you want to know me,Look at yourself in the mirror,Before you fall asleep.You reflect the person I want to be,The person inside this body and mind.With your kiss tonight, you’ve unlocked me.You’ve shown me who I am and who I can become.The door has been flung open, and I stand beforeYou as the man I need to be, and The man I intend to become.Goodnight my soul, my heart, my deepest love. You have unlocked me, and I am yours.

Funny Goodnight Poems

  1. Every Part of You Why should I have to say goodnightWhen all I want to do,Is hold you in my arms and kissEvery part of you.Why must we sleep apart and feelThis loneliness and pain. I think I’ll sneak over to your house now,And rap on your window pane.
  2. Unbearable I cannot bear to say goodnight,So I’ll simply leave you with this:Being with you is more than joy,It’s simply perfect bliss.Tomorrow I know I’ll see you again,But while we wait just know,That as I sleep and dream of you, I’m kissing your big toe.
  3. Goodnight Wishes Will you say goodnight to meAnd tell me something sweet?Will you wish me happy dreamsAnd promise when we’ll meet?It’s hard to be away from you And hard to know you’re there,Tucked so cozy in your bed,While I’m just sitting here
  4. Bewitched Please don’t say goodnight to meAnd leave me here alone.Please don’t close your eyes and sleepWhen I am left at home.I cannot sleep, I cannot thinkYou’ve bewitched me through and through,So please don’t say goodnight to me,But I’ll say goodnight to you.
  5. Words of You Happy, funny, friendly, fun.Lovely, gracious, shining sun.Curious, clever, loving, kind,Gorgeous face and sharper mind.You are all these things to me,You are my lover and my light.So, now before you fall asleep,I wish you a tender, warm goodnight.
  6. Door Slam Walk out of your house and slam the door.Get into your car, and please make it roar.Drive as fast as you can – you can’t stop to pee.You must come here now and fall asleep with me.
  7. Breaking All Rules This night is not ending,You must be mistaken.There’s no way you would leave meAlone and forsaken.The sky may be dark and The sun has gone down. But you and I cannot partJust because it’s not sound. Expectations and rules don’tApply in our case. And it’s  not that you haveYou father to face.So let’s not say goodnight,Let’s not waste the hoursCome and dance with meIn the bright moonlight showers.  We hope you found a few bedtime poems on our list.
