Chords

I have this song on an old cassette, but I am unable to find the artist's name, or even the proper title for the song. If someone is able to figure out who wrote this, I would be grateful. The original sounds closest to playing in E with Capo 1. [Intro] G C/A Bm C D [Verse]
C/A               D                     G D
   Sometimes it’s hard to say goodnight,

C/A               D                       G D/F#
   Sometimes it’s hard to do what’s right.

Em                    G/B
   But it would be so easy,

           C/A                G
   Just to stay here with you.

C/A                   D
   But it would be so foolish;

                   Em     D  C
   Could break our hearts in two.
[Verse]
C/A               D                     G D
   Some of our friends don’t understand,

C/A                     D                    G D/F#
   They must think that we’re completely mad.

Em                            G/B
   But I know if you take for granted,

       C/A                   G
   The gift so rich and rare,

C/A                    D
   You run the risk of waking up,

           Em     D   C     D
   To find love’s not there.
[Chorus]
             G               C/A
   It can be hard to say goodnight,

Bm                    C/A
   When it’s cold and rainy.

        G                 C/A
   Your eyes are warm and bright,

Bm               C/A
   It just seems crazy.

   Em                   G/B
   Lord, please give us strength,

                 C/A
   ’Cause deep inside we know,

          Em                 G/B
   It’s because we love each other,

          C/A     Cm
   That I have to go.
[Transistion] G C/A Bm C D [Verse]
C/A                           D                   G D
   The kind of thing we seem afraid to talk about;

C/A               D                  G D/F#
   Try to keep it hidden deep inside.

Em                  G/B
   But everyone has feelings,

       C/A                 G
   And everyone goes wrong,

C/A           D
   So draw us closer,

           Em    D    C
   Let the flame burn strong.
[Verse]
C/A             D                   G D
   They say sometimes love is blind,

C/A           D                       G D/F#
   I know the heart can rule the mind.

Em                         G/B
   ’Cause nothing that you ask of us,

              C/A               G
   Is without reason or good sense,

C/A                        D
   So when the doubts come knocking,

            Em  D C     D
   Lord, be our defence.
[Chorus]
             G               C/A
   It can be hard to say goodnight,

Bm                    C/A
   When it’s cold and rainy.

        G                 C/A
   Your eyes are warm and bright,

Bm               C/A
   It just seems crazy.

   Em                   G/B
   Lord, please give us strength,

                 C/A
   ’Cause deep inside we know,

          Em                 G/B
   It’s because we love each other,

          C/A     Cm
   That I have to go.
[End Chorus]
             G               C/A
   It can be hard to say goodnight,

Bm                    C/A
   When it’s cold and rainy.

        G                 C/A
   Your eyes are warm and bright,

Bm               C/A
   It just seems crazy.

   Em                   G/B
   Lord, please give us strength,

      C/A
   To do what’s right.

          Em                 G/B
   It’s because we love each other,

          C/A     Cm         G
   That I have to say, “Goodnight.”
[Outro] C/A Bm C/A D G
