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 darlin’ you must trust them just once more

Cause baby goodbye doesn’t mean forever
Let me tell you 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
But I can wait forever while helpin’ you to see
That I was meant for you and you for me

So remember goodbye doesn’t mean forever
Let me tell you 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
