BEFORE YOU GO

YOUR BAGS ARE PACKED
YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY
WE'VE GROWN APART
THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY

YOU SAY IT'S NOT ME
BUT I'M NOT SURE
SO I ASK YOU AS YOU WALK TOWARD THE DOOR

BEFORE YOU GO
PLEASE HOLD ME ONE MORE TIME
CAUSE I KNOW IF WE JUST STAND FACE TO FACE
AND MY ARMS ARE TIGHT AROUND YOU
THAT MY HEART WILL SURELY REACH YOU
AND MY EYES WILL STIR THE MEM'RIES
THAT YOU'VE MANAGED TO ERASE

BEFORE YOU GO
PLEASE KISS ME ONCE AGAIN
EVEN THOUGH YOUR LIPS HAVE TURNED TO STONE
AND YOU'LL FEEL THE FIRE BURNING
AND YOU'LL WANT TO STAY FOREVER
AND WE'LL LAUGH AT THIS SOMEDAY WHEN WE ARE OLD
BEFORE YOU GO

WE'VE HAD OUR JOYS
WE'VE HAD OUR TEARS
THE STORM CLOUDS CAME
THEN DISAPPEARED

WE MADE A VOW
JUST YOU AND ME
AND I WON'T BELIEVE YOU REALLY WANT TO BE FREE

BEFORE YOU GO
PLEASE HOLD ME ONE MORE TIME
CAUSE I KNOW IF WE JUST STAND FACE TO FACE
AND MY ARMS ARE TIGHT AROUND YOU
THAT MY HEART WILL SURELY REACH YOU
AND MY EYES WILL STIR THE MEM'RIES
THAT YOU'VE MANAGED TO ERASE

BEFORE YOU GO
PLEASE KISS ME ONCE AGAIN
EVEN THOUGH YOUR LIPS HAVE TURNED TO STONE
AND YOU'LL FEEL THE FIRE BURNING
AND YOU'LL WANT TO STAY FOREVER
AND WE'LL LAUGH AT THIS SOMEDAY WHEN WE ARE OLD

WHAT'S THE USE OF PROMISES THAT FADE AWAY?
WHAT'S THE USE OF ALL THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH?
LOVE IS WHAT YOU SAVE UP FOR A RAINY, RAINY DAY
JUST GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE TO SHOW
THE LOVE I'VE SAVED FOR YOU

BEFORE YOU GO
I'M BEGGING YOU HOLD ME ONE MORE TIME
CAUSE I KNOW IF WE JUST STAND FACE TO FACE
AND MY ARMS ARE TIGHT AROUND YOU
THAT MY HEART WILL SURELY REACH YOU
AND MY EYES WILL STIR THE MEM'RIES
THAT YOU'VE MANAGED TO ERASE

BEFORE YOU GO
PLEASE KISS ME ONCE AGAIN
EVEN THOUGH YOUR LIPS HAVE TURNED TO STONE
AND YOU'LL FEEL THE FIRE BURNING
AND YOU'LL WANT TO STAY FOREVER
AND WE'LL LAUGH AT THIS SOMEDAY WHEN WE ARE OLD
BEFORE YOU GO
