Don't Say Goodbye

by The 77s

on The 77's (1987), The 77s (1987)

[Intro]
Who is that calling you home?
(Don't say goodbye)
Someone you don't even know
(Don't say goodbye)
Who is that calling you, calling you?
Find out before you go

[Verse 1]
You say you're leavin'
Where are you goin', baby?
No guarantee, destination unknown
You say you're at the point where every single place
Every look on every face makes you wanna cry
And everything you see when you walk in a room
Is straight out of a bad dream, but the dream came true
And now you wanna die
Oh, no, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye

[Verse 2]
I beg your pardon
But who promised you a garden?
(East of Eden)
You're arrogant to presuppose there's bliss
(Somewhere over the abyss)
You bet your life and hoped to find a different place
A different world at a different pace
Don't make a brand-new start
'Cause who you are and what you've been is what you'll bring
To every place and everything
Without a change of heart
More of the same thing, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(Don't say goodbye)

[Bridge]
You never hear birds singing
(Someone hears you crying)
Your mind's in winter
(Your frozen heart is dying)
But you're the very best thing that ever happened to me
Don't go
Baby, I love you so

[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(My heart would break without you)
Oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(My heart would break)

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(I don't wanna live without you, no)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(My heart would break without you)
Oh
Don't say goodbye
(So much that you don't know, baby)
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
(My heart would break)
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
(I don't wanna live without you)
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh
(No, no)
Oh
Oh, oh
(Don't say, don't say, don't say)
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
