Goodbye Lyrics – Rachel Lorin
Goodbye Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Rachel Lorin]
You put me on your shoulders
Showed me the world from your view
I hoped when I got older
That I would be just like you
I needed saving
And you came running, my hero
[Pre-Chorus: Rachel Lorin]
The world is empty since you left
All the things I could've said were left unsaid
[Chorus: Rachel Lorin]
I know you're an angel now
But I'm feeling broken down
I don't wanna be alone tonight (Alone)
Don't make me say goodbye (Alone)
Tears running down my face
Longing for your embrace
I don't wanna be alone tonight (Alone)
Don't make me say goodbyе (Alone)
[Verse 2: Rachel Lorin]
Dancing on your footsteps
Holding your hand, watched you smilе
Planning for the day when
We would both walk down the aisle
In mom's old wedding dress
We had the song all picked out
[Pre-Chorus: Rachel Lorin]
The world is empty since you left
Though I try to stay convinced that you're still here
[Chorus: Rachel Lorin]
I know you're an angel now
But I'm feeling broken down
I don't wanna be alone tonight (Alone)
Don't make me say goodbye (Alone)
Tears running down my face
Longing for your embrace
I don't wanna be alone tonight (Alone)
Don't make me say goodbye (Alone)
[Bridge: Rachel Lorin]
Last night I started to pray
Asked God to keep you safe
And we'll be together someday
And every day that passes by
You grow stronger in my mind
I'll never let you die
[Chorus: Rachel Lorin]
I know you're my angel now
But I'm feeling broken down
I don't wanna be alone tonight (Alone)
Don't make me say goodbye (Alone)
Tears falling down my face
Longing for your embrace
I don't wanna be alone tonight (Alone)
Don't make me say goodbye (Alone)
I know you're my angel now
But I'm feeling broken down
I don't wanna be alone tonight (Alone)
So don't make me say goodbye (Alone)
Tears running down my face
Longing for your embrace
I don't wanna be alone tonight (Alone)
Don't make me say goodbye (Alone)
