Lyrics

Before You Say Goodbye

Words and Music By James Wood

Our love was like a fairy tale that never seemed to end
we were just two strangers, became much more than friends.
then he came between us and everything went wrong
so tonight you'll back your bags, tomorrow you'll be gone

Pre-Chorus:

you gave in to temptation, now the tears they fall like rain
but i never felt real love until the day you came

Chorus:

into my life, into my world
i'm not the same without you girl
hold me closer, give it one more night
one more chance before you say goodbye.

what more can i do? now my dreams are torn apart
I see the sorrow in your eyes and i still feel you in my heart

Pre-Chorus:

now it's come full circle, it's down to you and me
you're all i've ever wanted, the only one i need

Chorus:

into my life, into my world
i'm not the same without you girl
hold me closer, give me one more night
one more chance before you say goodbye.

Bridge:

want so much to tell you, can i make you understand
when you?re in my arms, I?m a better man

Chorus:

into my life, into my world
i'm not the same without you girl
hold me closer, give me one more night
one more chance before...

chorus

into my life, into my soul
i could never let you go
so hold me closer, let's give it one more try
one more chance to find a way
one more chance, tonight i'll pray
for one more chance before you say goodbye.
