Who is that calling you home
Someone you don't even know
Who is that calling you, calling you
Find out before you go

You say you're leaving
Where are you going, baby
No guarantee
Destination unknown
You say you're at the point
Where every single place
And every look on every face
Makes you want to cry
And everything you see
When you walk in a room
Is straight out of a bad dream
But the dream came true
And now you wanna die
Oh no baby-o

Oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh
Don't say goodbye

I beg your pardon, but
Who promised you a garden
(East of Eden)
You're arrogant to presuppose there's bliss
(Somewhere over the abyss)
You bet your life and hope to find a different place
A different world at a different pace
Don't make a brand new start
'Cuz who you are
And what you've been
Is what you'll bring
To every place and every thing
Without a change of heart
More of the same thing, baby-o

Oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh
Don't say goodbye

You never hear birds singing
(Someone hears you crying)
Your mind's in winter
(Your frozen heart is dying)
But you're the very best thing
That ever happened to me
Don't go
'Cuz baby I love you so

Oh
Don't say goodbye
Oh
Don't say goodbye
