Lyrics

Don't Say Goodbye

Don't stay where you're not loved Those people obscure the view But if I've done my job They won't want to mess with you Finance and romances A place where you'll exist Live with your mother's smile But see you through daddy's eyes You might lose your dignity But it's not what it used to be And don't say Goodbye to the world Until you've loved somebody Don't say Goodbye to the world Until you've lived like Kings and Queens I'll be the first and last thing that you see But don't say goodbye to me Just listen to your heart Not the voices in your head Forget how it made you feel But don't forget what was said Tears are words that we can touch When words only say so much Want what you've got Then you'll always have enough You might lose your dignity But look what it's done for me And don't say Goodbye to the world Until you've loved somebody Don't say Goodbye to the world Until you've lived like Kings and Queens I'll be the first and last thing that you see But don't say goodbye to me And don't say Goodbye to the world Until you've loved somebody Don't say Goodbye to the world Until you've lived like Kings and Queens I'll be the fist and last thing that you see But don't say goodbye to me
