Lyrics
Say “good (D)bye?”
Why, (A7)I can bare ly say “good (D)night.”
If (Am7)I can hard ly take my (F#m7)eyes
from (Bm7)yours,
how (Em)far (D)can (G)I (Asus)go?
Walk a (D)way?
The (A7)thought would nev er cross my (D)mind.
I (Am7)could n’t turn my (D7)back on (G)spring
or (E7)fall,
your (A7sus)smile
(A7)least of (F#7)all.
When (Bm)I
say
(A7)“al ways,”
I mean “for (D7)ev er.”
I trust to (Bm7)mor row
as (E7)much as to day.
I’m (Bm)not
a
(D7)fraid to say “I (G)love
you,”
and I (F#m7)prom ise (Bm7)you I’ll (A7)nev er say “good (D)bye.”
We’re (A7)danc ers on a crowd ed (D)floor.
While (Am7)oth er danc ers live from (F#m7)song
to (Bm7)song,
our (Em)mu (D)sic (G)goes (Asus)on.
On and (D)on.
And (A7)if I nev er leave your (D)arms,
I (Am7)real ly will have (D7)trav eled (G)ev
’ry (E7)where,
for (A7sus)my
(A7)world is (F#7)there.
When (Bm)I
say
(A7)“al ways,”
I mean “for (D7)ev er.”
I trust to (Bm7)mor row
as (E7)much as to day.
I’m (Bm)not
a
(D7)fraid to say “I (G)love
you,”
and I (F#m7)prom ise (Bm7)you I’ll (A7)nev er say “good bye.”
How (C)could I ev er say “good (D)bye?”
