I don't want to say goodbye

Let the stars shine through

I don't want to say goodbye

All I want to do is live with you



Just like the light of the morning

After the darkness has gone

The shadow of my love is falling

On a place where the sun always shone

Don't you know that's where our hearts both belong?



'Cause I don't want to say goodbye

Let the stars shine through

No, I don't want to say goodbye

All I want to do is live with you



Together our two hearts are strong

Don't you know that's where our hearts both belong?



'Cause I don't want to say goodbye

Let the stars shine through

I don't want to say goodbye

All I want to do is live with you

All I want to do is live with you
