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 it's hard believin'

The words you've heard before

But darling you must trust them just 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 givin' in

Well, I can wait forever

For helping you 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 may be so far apart, you still would have my heart

So forget your past, my goodbye girl

`Cause now you're home at last
