美國創作歌手［大衛蓋茲］──軟調搖滾抒情曲──［Goodbye Girl／再見女郎］

All your life youve waited for love to
Come and stay
And now that I have found you, you must
Not slip away
I know its hard believin the words youve
Heard before
But darlin you must trust them just once
More, cause baby
Goodbye doesnt mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesnt mean
Well never be together again
If you wake up and Im not there, I wont
Be long away
Cause the things you do my Goodbye Girl
Will bring me back to you.

I know youve been taken, afraid to hurt
Again
You fight the love you feel for me instead
Of givin in
But I can wait forever, a-helpin you to see
That I was meant for you and you for me so remember

Goodbye doesnt mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesnt mean
Well never be together again
Though we may be so far apart you still
Will have my heart
So forget your past my Goodbye Girl
Cause now youre home at last.
