GOODBYE GIRL
David Gates


All your life you've waited
for love to come and stay
and now that I have found you
you must not slip away.
I know its hard believing
the words you've heard before,
but darling you must trust them this once more.
Because baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever.
Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again.
If you wake up and I'm not there I won't be long away
'cause the things you do my goodbye girl
will bring me back to you.
I know you've been taken
afraid to hurt again.
You fight the love you feel for me
instead of giving in.
Well, I can wait forever
for helping to see
that I was meant for you
and you for me.
So remember goodbye doesn't mean forever.
Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again.
Though we maybe so far apart, you still would have my heart.
So forget your past, my goodbye girl 'cause now your home at last.
