It's Not Good-Bye
歌詞:
[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...
...
