David Gates - Goodbye Girl LYRICS

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 darlin' you must trust them just once more.

( Chorus )

'Cause m' baby goodbye
doesn't mean forever,
let me tell you 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.
But i can wait forever
while helpin' you to see
that i was meant for you and you for me.

( Chorus )

So remember goodbye
doesn't mean forever.
Let me tell you 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.
