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?”
