Don't Say Goodbye
Paulina Rubio · Border Girl
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 right 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 my road will lead back to you
[Chorus]
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
DonÂ’t say goodbye
Can you feel my desire
The way my bodyÂ’s sighing
With your every breath
I try to memorize
Every move youÂ’re making
So I will never forget
The way that you feel
Whenever your heart is beating with mine
Wherever I go
IÂ’ll keep my memories of you inside
[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
DonÂ’t say goodbye
Even though we'll be apart
WeÂ’ll see the same stars
Just close your eyes
And IÂ’ll be where you are
DonÂ’t say goodbye
‘Cause if you say that word
My heart wonÂ’t survive
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 right where you are
No me digas adiós
quedate aquí conmigo
adiós no es una palabra para nosotros
no te vayas
quedate aquí conmigo
[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
