Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye

Kiss me each morning for a million years,
Hold me each evening by your side;
Tell me you love me for a million years;
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye.......


Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss;
Soften my dream with your sigh....
After you've loved me for a million years;
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye.......


If you must go, I won't grieve....
If you just wait a lifetime before you leave.....


But if you must go...I won't say no....
Just so we can say that we tried....
Tell me you love me for a million years;
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye.......
