[1st Stanza]
Your eyes are looking at mine
And I am having the hardest time
You're hands are ready to wave goodbye
You're lips are ready to kiss me goodnight
But...

[Chorus]

No, don't go!
These tears are not yet ready to flow
Before those goodnights...
Before those goodbyes...
Take my heart with you
And leave me here tonight!

[2nd Stanza]

I know why you're giving me that smile
To make me smile just for a while
I really don't know what to say
I just want you,
Oh, I want you to stay so...

[Repeat Chorus]

[last Stanza]
Your eyes are looking at mine
And I am having the hardest time

You're hands are ready to wave goodbye
You're lips are ready to kiss me goodnight
