Lyrics
Goodbye (Can Never be Forever)
Here we stand in each others arms,
neither of us wants to say goodbye
You know I won't be gone for long
and I know that you'll be strong....
but I see that little tear in your eye
so before I go away
there is something I should say
something about being apart
goodbye, can never be forever
as long as you have love in your heart
You know when I was just a child
my daddy went away
never thought about him leaving
he was with me every day
then my mother said to me
"Don't worry, it's O.K.,
as long as love is in your heart
he won't be far away"
Good bye is not forever,
nor could it ever be
when you love each other,
my mother said to me
although we may be far apart
if love is in your heart,
` goodbye can never be forever
You see, love can bridge all distance,
so there's no need to cry
let me dry that little teardrop
falling from your eye
and darling please remember
wherever we may be
goodbye can never be forever
(return to Chorus)(3x)
(Single voice) Goodbye can never be forever
