The Specials

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 believin' 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 toyou.

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, a-helpin' 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.
