The 77s
Don’t Say Goodbye (Vocal Take 1)
[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
Yeah
[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
And 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, believe me, baby
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
[Verse 1]
I beg your pardon
Who promised you a garden?
You're arrogant to presuppose there's bliss
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, oh
Don’t say goodbye
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
[Bridge]
You never hear birds singing
Your mind's in winter
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
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh, oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
