Who is that calling you home

Someone you don't even know

Who is that calling you, calling you

Find out before you go



You say you're leaving

Where are you going, baby

No guarantee

Destination unknown

You say you're at the point

Where every single place

And every look on every face

Makes you want to cry

And everything you see

When you walk in a room

Is straight out of a bad dream

But the dream came true

And now you wanna die

Oh no baby-o



Oh

Don't say goodbye

Oh

Don't say goodbye



I beg your pardon, but

Who promised you a garden

(East of Eden)

You're arrogant to presuppose there's bliss

(Somewhere over the abyss)

You bet your life and hope to find a different place

A different world at a different pace

Don't make a brand new start

'Cuz who you are

And what you've been

Is what you'll bring

To every place and every thing

Without a change of heart

More of the same thing, baby-o



Oh

Don't say goodbye

Oh

Don't say goodbye



You never hear birds singing

(Someone hears you crying)

Your mind's in winter

(Your frozen heart is dying)

But you're the very best thing

That ever happened to me

Don't go

'Cuz baby I love you so



Oh

Don't say goodbye

Oh

Don't say goodbye
