Lyrics:

[English]

And what if I never kiss your lips again

Or feel the touch of your sweet embrace

How would I ever go on

Without you there's no place to belong

Well, someday love is gonna lead you back to me

But 'till it does I'll have an empty heart

So I'll just have to believe

Somewhere out there you're thinking of me

'Til the day I let you go

'Til we say our next hello

It's not good-bye

'Til I see you again

I'll be right here rememberin' when

And if time is on our side

There will be no tears to cry

On down the road

There is one thing I can't deny

It's not good-bye

You'd think I'd be strong enough to make it through

And rise above when the rain falls down

But it's so hard to be strong

When you've been missin' somebody so long

It's just a matter of time I'm sure

But time takes time and I can't hold on

So won't you try as hard as you can

To put my broken heart together again

'Til the day I let you go

'Til we say our next hello

It's not good-bye

'Til I see you again

I'll be right here rememberin' when

And if time is on our side

There will be no tears to cry

On down the road

There is one thing I can't deny

It's not good-bye

Yeah!

It's not good-bye

...

'Til the day I let you go

Until we say our next hello

It's not good-bye

'Til I see you again

I'll be right here rememberin' when

And if time is on our side

There will be no tears to cry

On down the road

And I can't deny it's not good-bye

'Til the day I let you go

'Til we say our next hello

It's not good-bye

'Til I see you...

I'll be right here rememberin' when

And if time is on our side

There will be no tears to cry

On down the road

And I can't deny (It's not good-bye)

It's not good-bye

Good-bye

...

No more tears to cry...
