It's Not Goodbye (In Assenza Di Te)

Laura Pausini · From the Inside [2003]

Now what if I never kiss your lips again

Or feel the touch of your sweet embrace.

How would I ever go on?,

Without you there's no place to belong

Well someday love is going to lead you back to me,

But till it does I'll have an empty heart.

So I'll just have to believe some where out there you're thinking of me



Till the day I let you go,

Until we say our next hello its not goodbye.

Till I see you again

I'll be right here remembering when.

And if time is on our side

There will be no tears to cry on down the road

There is one thing I can't deny its not goodbye



You think I'd be strong enough to make it through

And rise above when the rain falls down.

But it's so hard to be strong when you've been missing somebody so long

It's just a matter of time I'm sure,

Well time takes time and I can't hold on,

So won't you try as hard as you can

Put my broken heart together again?



Till the day I let you go,

Until we say our next hello its not goodbye.

Till I see you again

I'll be right here remembering when.

And if time is on our side

there will be no tears to cry on down the road

there is one thing I can't deny its not goodbye



It's not goodbye.....

Till the day I'll let you go,

until we say our next hello its not goodbye.

Till I see you again

I'll be right here remembering when.

And if time is on our side

there will be no tears to cry on down the road

And I can't deny it's, not goodbye

Its not goodbye

Till I see you

I'll be right here remembering when

Time is on our side

No more tears to cry

And I cant deny

It's not goodbye

Goodbye

no more tears to cry

It's, it's not goodbye.
