Just Don't Say Goodbye
I heard the leaves tumble past the door,
When the wind decided they don't belong here anymore.
They danced and hurried to another place,
As if they just had no more time to waste.
And babe I hear it whistle through the trees,
As a reminder that you're not here next to me
You're a leaf that has been captured on a gust
Of a breeze that we must both learn how to trust.
Say you'll come back to me
Tell me it was always meant to be
Say you're gonna see me in a while
Oh baby, just don't say goodbye.
Your name still echoes softly in my head,
While I clutch my pillow all alone here in my bed.
My ears are tuned to the restless midnight air
For any sound that says you might be there.
Oh, I'll watch the leaves that hurry past that door
And I'll hope there's one that dances to my floor,
That will be the one that makes me feel brand new
That will be the one that leads me back to you.
Say you'll come back to me
Tell me it was always meant to be
Say you're gonna see me in a while
But honey, just don't say goodbye.
The promises are unspoken
But they are real and won't be broken,
They won't be broken….
Say you'll come back to me
Tell me it was always meant to be
Say you're gonna see me in a while
Oh baby, just don't say goodbye.
