Lyrics
Say (D)"goodbye?"
Why, (A7)I can barely say (D)"goodnight."
If (Am7)I can hardly take my (F#m7)eyes from (Bm7)yours,
how (Em7)far (F#m7)can (Gmaj9)I (A9sus)go?
(A9)Walk (D)away?
The (A7)thought would never cross my (F#m7)mind.
(D)I (Am7)couldn't turn my (D9sus)back (D9)on (G)spring or (E7)fall,
for your (A9sus)smile least of (F#)all.
(F#)When (Bm)I say (Em7)"always,"
(Dmaj7)I (D6)mean (Am7)"forever."
(G)I trust (F#m7)tomorrow (Bm7)as (E9sus)much as (E9)today.
(F#)I'm (Bm)not (D7)afraid to say "I (Gmaj9)love you,"
and I (F#m7)promise (Bm7)you I'll (Em7)never (A9sus)say (A7)"good (D)bye."
We're (A7)dancers on a crowded (D)floor.
While (Am7)other dancers live from (F#m7)song to (Bm7)song,
our (Em7)(F#m7)music (Gmaj9)goes (A9sus)on.
(A9)On and (D)on.
And (A7)if I never leave your (F#m7)arms,
(D)I (Am7)really will have (D9sus)(D9)traveled (G)(E7)ev'rywhere,
for your (A9sus)my world is (F#)there.
(F#)When (Bm)I say (Em7)"always,"
(Dmaj7)I (D6)mean (Am7)"forever."
(G)I trust (F#m7)tomorrow (Bm7)as (E9sus)much as (E9)today.
(F#)I'm (Bm)not (D7)afraid to say "I (Gmaj9)love you,"
and I (F#m7)promise (Bm7)you I'll (Em7)never (A9sus)say (A7)(D)"goodbye."
(D)How (C)could I ever say (D)"goodbye?"
