(Robertson / Evans)

Before you leave won't you say goodbye
Walk away with the pain inside
Really care for the tears I've cried
talk to me just one last time
Put an end to the love we shared
Say the words and the clouds will clear
If you need to be so free
before you leave won't you say goodbye to me

Is it true to say you care for me
There must be something you're too blind to see
It's better to have lost but tried
never shown the way you feel inside
If I could only hold you one last time
and make believe that you were still mine
I can't bear to see you go
If you must just tell me so

Before you leave won't you say goodbye
Walk away with the pain inside
If you really care for the tears I've cried
talk to me just one last time
Put an end to the love we shared
Say the words and the clouds will clear
If you need to be so free
before you leave won't you say goodbye to me
Won't you say goodbye to me
Won't you say goodbye

I remember when you said to me
Love's forever, that just can't be
Every kiss becomes a lie
There's nothing left but pain inside
So if you really don't believe it's true
please don't say all the things you do
Treat me with some honesty
That's the way you lie to me

Before you leave won't you say goodbye
Walk away with the pain inside
If you really care for the tears I've cried
talk to me just one last time
Put an end to the love we shared
Say the words and the clouds will clear
If you need to be so free
before you leave won't you say goodbye to me
Won't you say goodbye to me
Won't you say goodbye

Before you leave, before you leave, won't you say goodbye
Walk away with the pain inside, bye
Really care for the tears I've cried
talk to me just one last time, keep walking away
Put an end to the love we shared
Say the words and the clouds will clear, pain inside
If you need to be so free
before you leave won't you say goodbye to me
