David Gates

Goodbye Girl

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 believing

The words you've heard before

But darlin' you must trust them

Just once more

'Cause 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 giving in

But I can wait forever

A-helping you to see

That I was meant for you

And you for me

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 will have my heart

So forget your past, my goodbye girl

'Cause now you're home at last
