The Goodbye Girl lyrics
by David Gates



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 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



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
