Oh, so far away, and yet you're always with me Livin' in a dream that never fades I can hear the sound, words so softly spoken They haunt my memories, both night and day But I don't wanna call it goodbye I don't wanna think about it, talk about it I'd simply live a lie, I'd rather live a lie than say goodbye I don't wanna call it the end I don't wanna be without it, laugh without it, cry without it I could live a lie, I'd rather live a lie than say goodbye The city in the rain Love's shelter's in a doorway And a million lonely souls just waste another day Those people pass me by But no familiar faces Just traces in the crowd of you and I But I don't wanna call it goodbye I don't wanna think about it, talk about it I'd simply live a lie, I'd rather live a lie than say goodbye I don't wanna call it the end I don't wanna be without it, laugh without it, cry without it I could live a lie, I'd rather live a lie than say goodbye Oh, I don't wanna call it goodbye I don't wanna think about it, talk about it I'd simply live a lie, I'd rather live a lie than say goodbye I don't wanna call it the end I don't wanna be without it, laugh without it, cry without it I could live a lie, I'd rather live a lie than say goodbye Than say goodbye
