The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

All your life you've waited

For love to come and stay

And now that I have found you

You must not slip away

I know it's hard believin'

The words you've heard before

But darlin' you must trust them just once more

'Cause baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever

Let me tell you

Goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again

If you wake up and I'm not there

I won't be long away

'Cause the things you do my goodbye girl

Will bring me back to you

I know you've been taken

Afraid to hurt again

You fight the love you feel for me

Instead givin' in

But I can wait forever

For helping you to see

That I was meant for you and you for me

So remember, goodbye doesn't mean forever

Let me tell you

Goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again

Though we may be so far apart

You still will have my heart

So forget your past, my goodbye girl

'Cause now you're home at last
