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
