Don't Say Goodbye
Christopher Cross

Words by Christopher Cross and John Bettis

Music by Christopher Cross and Billy Alessi


I guess I knew we'd come to this

Where the love can't cool the anger

So many times settled with a kiss

Love in trouble

The trouble is

You and me

Strong words, so nonchalant

Come on,

We don't mean half of what we say

You say you like gettin' what you want

Me too

But I

I'll never say I never want to love you again


Don't you say goodbye

Don't you say goodbye

When you're walking out that door

Don't you say goodbye

Don't you say goodbye

Baby, don't you say goodbye


It's not a matter of weak or strong

Arms can hold you

Or they can hold you down

I can dance to the saddest song

But I won't let you stay

Where you don't belong

Oh, so while you're out there busy bein' free

Just remember

One of those roads leads back to me


Don't you say goodbye

Don't you say goodbye

When you're walking out that door

Careful what you say

You might be back someday

Baby, don't you say goodbye


I want you

I need you

But I'll let you go

If you want it that way

It's your choice

But my voice

Will whisper every day

Every step of the way


Don't say goodbye

Girl, I'll tell you why

It just might turn out that way

Don't say goodbye

Even with your eyes

Baby, don't you say goodbye


I know you care somewhere

Inside you hide the truth away

(Behind a thin disguise)

Your heart will change your mind someday

Baby, don't you say goodbye
