Before We Say Goodbye

Lara Fabian · Other Songs - Lara Fabian

Time stands still
As you turn away
All my thoughts run wild
For a word to say
Should I reach for you
Could it be too late
Can we give it one more try

Here we stand
On the border line
And I search my heart
For a reason why
Did I love too much
Did I hold too tight
Can we leave it all behind

Oooh baby, can we give it one more try
I still want you by my side
Oooh baby, you're the best thing in my life
Can we give it one more try
Before we say goodbye

All of your life
You never took a chance
So if you have to go
I will understand
But can you hold me now
Think of what we had
Let me love you one more time

Chorus

Oooh baby, you're the best thing in my life
Can we give it one more (one more try) try
Before we say
I don't wanna say
Before we say goodbye

Before we say goodbye
