Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye
The Casinos Lyrics
Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sighs
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve
If you wait a lifetime before you leave
Then if you must go
I won't tell you no
Just so that we can say we tried
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sighs
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve
If you wait a lifetime before you leave
Then if you must go
I won't tell you no
Just so that we can say we tried
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Bésame cada mañana durante un millón de años
Kiss me each morning for a million years
Abrázame cada noche a tu lado
Hold me each evening by your side
Dime que me amarás por un millón de años
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Entonces si no funciona
Then if it don't work out
Entonces si no funciona
Then if it don't work out
Entonces puedes decirme adios
Then you can tell me goodbye
Endulza mi café con un beso matutino
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Suaviza mis sueños con tus suspiros
Soften my dreams with your sighs
Dime que me amarás por un millón de años
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Entonces si no funciona
Then if it don't work out
Entonces si no funciona
Then if it don't work out
Entonces puedes decirme adios
Then you can tell me goodbye
Si debes irte, oh no, no voy a llorar
If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve
Si esperas toda la vida antes de irte
If you wait a lifetime before you leave
Entonces si debes irte
Then if you must go
No te diré que no
I won't tell you no
Solo para que podamos decir que lo intentamos
Just so that we can say we tried
Dime que me amarás por un millón de años
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Entonces si no funciona
Then if it don't work out
Entonces si no funciona
Then if it don't work out
Entonces puedes decirme adios
Then you can tell me goodbye
