2. The Sweethearts aren't trying to capture a sound or chase a trend. They just play the music that drives them: catchy, buzz-saw punk with a nod to garage rock and the girl groups of the 1960's.

“I’d think it would be tough to combine solid Texas rock’n’roll with Nikki Corvette-style bubblegum vocals, but The Sweethearts blend them together seamlessly. The songs rock and make me want to sing along, and that’s a good combination. ...comes across like the best of The Chubbies, or an Eyeliners live set when they are really on. Its good shit.”
~ Razorcake

"They are young, full of gusto and hell-bent on cranking it up and loud and just blasting it"
~Now Wave Magazine.

The songs are full of heart and heartbreak, dreaming and drinking, being young, dumb, and just having fun. The Sweethearts debut album, L.U.V., was released on Mortville Records in 2003. It is currently out of print.

The Sweethearts released their second album,"Looks Could Kill" on Mortville Records in 2005 and are currently in the studio working on a third.

"...the Sweethearts' punk-flavored portrayal of the raw-nerve period between the first broken heart and the onset of cynical scar tissue is positively earnest."
~Greg Beets, The Austin Chronicle

3. The Sweethearts were a short-lived soul group, perhaps best known for their 1965 single, 'Beauty Is Just Skin Deep'. Popular during the Northern Soul era in the 1970s.

4. A pop band featuring members of Greatest Hits on Olde English Spelling Bee.

Don't Say Goodbye
The Sweethearts Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The circle of the moon
The rising of the sun
We'll be together soon
Our story's just begun
Time will bring us near
I'll never be too far
Oh, baby, don't you fear
I'll always be where you are

You can dry my tears
But you can't stop the pain inside
I'm trying to hide
As I hold you near
I know I have to pull away
You know that I can't stay
All of my life
No one has touched me the way that you do
Wherever I go
I know that the road will lead back to you

So don't say goodbye
Don't turn away
It doesn't have to end today
Don't say goodbye
'Cause I will love you ?til the end of time

Don't say goodbye

Can you feel my love inside
The way that my body's sighing
With your every breath
I try to memorize
Every move you're making
So I'll never forget
The way that you feel
Whenever your heart is beating with mine
Wherever I go
I'll keep my memories of you inside

So don't say goodbye
Don't turn away
It doesn't have to end today
Don't say goodbye
'Cause I will love you ?til the end of time

Don't say goodbye
We'll never be apart
We'll see the same stars
Just close your eyes
And I'll be where you are

Don't say goodbye
?Cause if you say that word
My heart won't survive

So don't say goodbye
Don't turn away
It doesn't have to end today
Don't say goodbye
'Cause I will love you ?til the end of time

Don't say goodbye

The circle of the moon
The rising of the sun
We'll be together soon
Our story's just begun
Time will bring us near
I'll never be too far

Oh, baby, don't you fear
I'll always be where you are

I know I must let go

You know that I can't stay
You understand that I have to leave

All of my life
Throughout my life

No one has touched me the way that you do
No one has made me feel the way you do emotionally and physically

Wherever I go
No matter where I am

I know that the road will lead back to you
I'm certain that our paths will cross again

Can you feel my love inside
Do you feel the depth of my affection

The way my body is responding to yours

With your every breath
With every exhalation you make

I try to memorize
I attempt to keep in memory

Every move you're making
Every gesture you do

So I'll never forget
So I'll always remember

The way that you feel
The way I feel when I'm with you

Whenever your heart is beating with mine
Every time our hearts beat together

We'll never be apart
We'll never be separated

We'll see the same stars
We'll both gaze at the same sky and stars

Just close your eyes
Simply shut your eyes

And I'll be where you are
I'll be with you, no matter where you are

'Cause if you say that word
Because if you say or utter the word goodbye

My heart won't survive
I won't be able to endure the pain

Don't say goodbye
Please don't say goodbye

Don't turn away
Don't look away from me

It doesn't have to end today
Our relationship doesn't have to end today

'Cause I will love you ?til the end of time
Because I will love you for eternity
