Lyrics
Before I fly and wave goodbye
I’ll say to you
Days with you are the best years of my life
But if I don’t see you anymore
Keep my words safely stored
And I’ll be back, I promise once more
Goodbye, goodbye
‘Til I see you again
Goodbye, goodbye
I’ll love and I’ll miss you ’til then
Remember me ’cause I care
Where you are and how you feel
Get in touch if the wind blows in your face
I guess it’s been to much fun
We’ve shared, and we’ve won
Yes, the best is yet to come
Goodbye, goodbye
‘Til I see you again
Goodbye, goodbye
I’ll love and miss you ’til then
That one word hurts so bad
You leave the best you’ve had
But you keep the faith and pray to return
Goodbye, goodbye
I’ll love and I’ll miss you ’til then
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
