Goodbye for now Let's say goodbye for now It hurts down to my soul Watching us go But we'll hurt more if we stay Goodbye for now Doesn't mean you lose my security Doesn't mean we will never speak And that's the beginning of the end

I want to get married But no woman will hear my plea Aw, my time is gone Babe and I really must say goodbye Yes, it seems somehow I can't get one to walk downthe aisle with me Well, I've only been in love But three times in my life Yes, the first, I

I'd lose mountains And blue skies But I can't help losing my mind for you How many more times How many more times must I cry How many more times must I say goodbye I've opened all the way

I've come to expect it from you But that's what I get How could you do what you've gone and done to me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me Nervous wreck I can't believe you said goodbye Sit and smoke Cry and joke
