Lyrics
I WON'T SAY GOODBYE
(Lyrics & music by Rebecca Rufin, copyright 1999 by Rebecca Rufin)
I won't say goodbye,
Don't want to say goodbye,
How can I describe the way you filled my heart?
You changed my life,
A part of you remains a part of me,
I won't say goodbye.
Hand and hand we walked this world together,
Sharing tears of laughter, tears of pain,
Even though you're gone I feel your presence all around me,
An inner strength about me comes from you.
I won't say,
I can't say goodbye,
It's hard to say goodbye,
How can I describe the way you filled my heart?
You changed my life,
A part of you remains a part of me,
I can't say goodbye.
You were so much more than a companion,
Always there to help me, on my side,
You would give me hope and love, advice and inspiration,
And now my aspiration is to be
Like you.
I must say goodbye,
It's time to say goodbye,
How can I describe the way you filled my heart?
You changed my life,
A part of you remains a part of me,
I must say goodbye.
I will miss your humor and your laughter,
I will miss that sparkle in your eyes,
I will miss the comfort of your loving arms around me,
The courage that unbound me from my fears,
Your true love.
I won't say goodbye,
Don't wanna say goodbye,
I can't say goodbye,
How I'll miss you,
Goodbye.
