Lyrics Ricky Nelson

Ricky Nelson

Don't Let Your Goodbye Stand

If you're changing can't include me

It was a matter of time I fear

'Cause I hear most regularly

Like the turning of the year

The young men gettin' older

Grow sincere much to dry

I'll understand if I can't hold you

I won't share the tears I'll cry

Would you steal from a dyin' man

Love from an outstretched hand

Upsets no prior plan

Believe in me

Don't let your goodbye stand

Don't let your goodbye stand

Don't let your goodbye stand

You can have the better of me

It's your game and it's your rules

I'll concede to labels gladly

As your warm affection cools

Don't put me out to pasture

Mend your lyin' eyes to me

And it's true it just won't last

If borrowed time is what you need

Would you steal from a dyin' man

Love from an outstretched hand

Upsets no prior plan

Believe in me

Don't let your goodbye stand

Don't let your goodbye stand

Don't let your goodbye stand

Would you steal from a dyin' man

Love from an outstretched hand

Upsets no prior plan

Believe in me

Don't let your goodbye stand

Don't let your goodbye stand

Don't let your goodbye stand
