Lyrics
Tomorrow used to be a day away
Now love is gone and you're into someone far away
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand, not mine
Holding on to yours because I could not find the time
And now I cant deny, nothing lasts forever
But I don't want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
I don't want to live to see the day we say, "Goodbye"
Now there comes another part of life I call alone
Sitting at a bar with Chris that I can't leave
'Cause my house ain't no home, no
I just want to touch you girl
I want to feel you close to me
Without your love, I would give up now and walk away so easily
So maybe while we're young
We'll figure out together
That even with the pain, there's a remedy and we'll be alright
I don't want to live to see the day we say, "Goodbye"
When I first met you I couldn't love anyone
Oh, but you stole my dreams and you made me see
That I can walk into the sun and I can still be me
And now I can't deny, nothing lasts forever
But I don't want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
So baby, while we're young
Let's figure out together
That even with the pain, there's a remedy and we'll be alright
I don't want to live to see the day we say, "Goodbye"
We say, "Goodbye"
Oh, goodbye
Goodbye.
