oh loved one, please do hold me near
please whisper sweet love songs in my ear
love me forever, my dear
and don't say the words that I don't want to hear
don't say goodbye....

hold me close; don't let me go
you promised me our love would grow
oh, my sweet pain, I love you so
please listen to my cries
don't say goodbye....

we are the victims of this night
we are both too weak to fight
and in my life you were the light

you walk away as I cry
you're not even man enough to lie
and I yell, why?

why does it always come down to

goodbye?
