Lyrics

I Don't Want To Say Goodbye To Paradise
I don't want to say goodbye to paradise
In your eye I see the reason and rhyme
Being here is really not a sacrifice
Is it that we can't buy the time?

Slow down, way to go, two beautiful losers on our way (hey hey hey)
Foreign land, take my hand, we need to chose to go or stay

I don't want to say goodbye to paradise
In your arms I feel the heat of the sun
Being here really is no sacrifice
Is it that we haven't begun?

Go down with the flow, two beautiful lovers for a day (hey hey hey)
Washed up on the sand, destined to choose disarray (I can hear you say)

I don't want to say goodbye to paradise
In your eye I see the reason and rhyme
Being here is really not a sacrifice
Is it that we can't buy the time?

So far from home
Can't be alone

I don't want to say goodbye to paradise
In your arms I feel the heat of the sun
Being here really is no sacrifice
Is it that we haven't begun?


Don't want to say goodbye
(I don't want to say goodbye to paradise)
Don't want to say goodbye
(I don't want to say goodbye to paradise)
Don't want to say goodbye
(I don't want to say goodbye to paradise)






Is paradise nearing the end? This catchy melody and arrangement captures the desperation and anxiety of having to return to the workaday world after a beautiful time! The lyrics are emotionally written, the melody takes those emotions further. Absolutely great use of the arpeggiator and midi to push the feeling of the song! Clean mixing and mastering. I can really hear every nuance. Beautiful job that is good for anything: a single, album cut, movie.

Love some parts, choices.
