Lyrics
DON?T SAY GOODBYE
(Linda Finkle c 2001)
Come on honey time to get up
Come on down I?ll pour you a cup
Of the best hot joe you?ll find in this town
Pulled the suitcase out that you said
Laid your clothes right out on the bed
So you can pack them up ?fore you go
Why do you have to go so far away
Kiss me, hold me, don?t let go
Come on, can?t you stay
Don?t say goodbye
Just say I?ll see you later honey
Give you call when I get in
Don?t you worry about a thing
Don?t say goodbye
Just say I?ll be there for you always
In all the big and small ways
Don?t say goodbye
Now you?re gone and I?m lying here
Think I?ll go and grab me a beer
See what?s on the tv late tonight
One more day and you?re coming home
Few more hours I won?t be alone
Close my eyes and wait until then
Am I dreaming or are you here
Run your hands through my hair
Whisper in my ear
Don?t say goodbye?
