Goodbye Not Goodnight

The lights are dim, the band has one more tune to play

And somehow couples know and hold each other tight

For them it's just another parting for the moment

But for us, it's goodbye, not goodnight

When we set out this evening, we both knew so well

That all we have is love to keep our hopes alive

And parting can't be hid in smiles and table wine

'Cause for us, it's goodbye, not goodnight

It seems a crime to think the world here in my arms

Will just be swept away before the morning light

To think we'll never share another timе like this

Because for us, it's goodbyе, not goodnight

And so the last note sounds away into the dark

And love's a summer-seeking swallow in its flight

Deep down we know that we will find the sun again

Though for us, it's goodbye, not goodnight

It seems a crime to think the world here in my arms

Will just be swept away before the morning light

To think we'll never share another time like this

Because for us, it's goodbye, not goodnight

And so the last note sounds away into the dark

And love's a summer-seeking swallow in its flight

Deep down we know that we will find the sun again

Though for us, it's goodbye, not goodnight

Though for us, it's goodbye, not goodnight

Though for us, it's goodbye, not goodnight
