Lyrics
Before we say goodbye
And you have gone your way
Let’s see what can be done
To make you stay
When all the words are said
And all the tears are cried
Let’s look into our hearts
And our hearts decide
Let’s think this out and
You might say I’m right
And we might change goodbye
Into goodnight
Let’s not agree too fast
On breaking with the past
Let’s make another try
Before we say goodbye
