Who is that calling you home? (don't say goodbye)
Someone you don't even know, (don't say goodbye)
Who is that calling you, calling you?
Find out before you go.
You say you're leaving; where are you going, baby?
No guarantee, destination unknown,
You say you're at the point where every single place, and every look on every face, makes you want to cry,
And everything you see when you walk in a room is straight out of a bad dream,
But the dream came true, and now you wanna die, oh no, baby, oh.
Oh, don't say goodbye,
Oh, don't say goodbye.
I beg your pardon, who promised you a garden? (east of Eden)
You're arrogant to presuppose there's bliss, (we're over the abyss)
You bet your life and hope to find a different place, a different world at a different pace,
Don't make a brand new start,
'Cause who you are, and what you've been, is what you'll bring to every place and everything, without a change of heart.
More of the same thing, baby, oh.
Oh, don't say goodbye, (I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, don't say goodbye. (don't say goodbye)
You never hear birds singing, (someone hears you crying)
Your mind's in winter, (frozen heart is dying)
But you're the very best thing that ever happened to me,
Don't go 'cause, baby, I love you so.
Oh, don't say goodbye, (I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, don't say goodbye, (my heart would break without you)
Oh, don't say goodbye, (don't wanna live without you)
Oh, don't say goodbye. (my heart would break)
Oh, don't say goodbye, (I don't wanna live without you, no)
Oh, don't say goodbye, (my heart would break without you)
Oh, don't say goodbye, (so much that you don't know, baby, no)
Oh, don't say goodbye, (my heart would break)
(etc. fade)
