Don't Say Goodbye - Christopher Cross

I guess I knew we’d come to this

Where the love can’t cool the anger

So many times settled with a kiss

Love in trouble;

the trouble is you and me

Strong words so nonchalant

Come on, we don’t mean half of what we say

You say you like getting what you want;

me too

But I, I’ll never say I never want to love you again

Don’t you say goodbye

Don’t you say goodbye

When you’re walking out that door

Don’t you say goodbye

Don’t you say goodbye

Baby, don’t you say goodbye

It’s not a matter of weak or strong

Arms can hold you or they can hold you down

But I can dance to the saddest song

But I won’t let you stay where you don’t belong

Oh, so while you’re out there busy being free

Just remember one of those roads leads back to me

Back to me

Don’t you say goodbye

Don’t you say goodbye

When you’re walking out that door

Be careful what you say

You might be back someday

Baby, don’t you say goodbye

I want you, I need you

But I’ll let you go

If you want it that way

It’s your choice

But my voice

Will whisper every day

Every step of the way

Don’t you say goodbye

Girl, I’ll tell you why

It just might turn out that way

Don’t you say goodbye

Even with your eyes

Baby, don’t you say goodbye

I know you care somewhere

Inside you hide the truth away

(Behind a thin disguise)

Your heart will change your mind someday

Baby, don’t you say goodbye

Don’t you say goodbye

Don’t you say goodbye

When you’re walking out that door

Be careful what you say

You might be back someday

Baby, don’t you say goodbye

Baby, don’t you say goodbye

Baby, don’t you say goodbye
