The 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
