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 darling you must trust them just once more

Because baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell ya 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
Well, I can wait forever
For helping you to see
That I was meant for you
And you for me

So remember goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell ya 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
