Goodbye Not Goodnight

John Edmond

Lyrics

The lights are dimmed

The band has one more tune to play

And somehow couples know

And hold each other tight

For them it's just another parting

For the moment

But for us

It's goodbye not goodnight

When we set out this evening

We both knew so well

That all we had was love

To keep our hopes alive

And parting can't be hid in smiles and table wine

'Cos for us

It's goodbye not goodnight

It seems a crime to think

The world here in my arms

Will just be swept away

Before the morning light

To think we'll never share

Another time like this

Because for us

It's goodbye not goodnight

And so the last note sounds away into the dark

And love's a summer seeking swallows

In its flight

Deep down we know that we will find the sun again

Though for us

It's goodbye not goodnight

It seems a crime to think

The world here in my arms

Will just be swept away

Before the morning light

To think we'll never share

Another time like this

Because for us

It's goodbye not goodnight

And so the last note sounds away into the dark

And love's a summer seeking swallows

In its flight

Deep down we know that we will find the sun again

Though for us

It's goodbye not goodnight

Though for us

It's goodbye not goodnight

Though for us

It's goodbye not goodbye
