The lights are dimmed
The band has one more tune to play
And somehow couples know
And hold each other tight
For them it's just another parting
For the moment
But for us
It's goodbye not goodnight

When we set out this evening
We both knew so well
That all we had was love
To keep our hopes alive
And parting can't be hid in smiles and table wine
'Cos for us
It's goodbye not goodnight

It seems a crime to think
The world here in my arms
Will just be swept away
Before the morning light
To think we'll never share
Another time like this
Because for us
It's goodbye not goodnight

And so the last note sounds away into the dark
And love's a summer seeking swallows
In its flight
Deep down we know that we will find the sun again
Though for us
It's goodbye not goodnight

It seems a crime to think
The world here in my arms
Will just be swept away
Before the morning light
To think we'll never share
Another time like this
Because for us
It's goodbye not goodnight

And so the last note sounds away into the dark
And love's a summer seeking swallows
In its flight
Deep down we know that we will find the sun again
Though for us
It's goodbye not goodnight
Though for us
It's goodbye not goodnight
Though for us
It's goodbye not goodbye
