Intro
I don't wanna be alone (x6)
Goodbye......Goodbye
Verse 1
Uh, tears hit her cheeks, like Tyson's glove,
Pain hit his heart, as she fights for love,
She says don't go, but the call came,
It's time to deploy, and they called his name,
Close to zero five-hundred, her mind starts wanderin
Butterflies, tummy starts rumblin,
Queasy, uneasy, tryin to hold it all together,
She doesn't want their last moments here to be
unpleasant,
The car ride is quiet, outside it's hard to fight it,
Inside it's like she's dyin, that's when she started cryin,
He tries to comfort her, "Baby, it's alright" "Liar!"
That's what she screams louder from the thoughts of
fight,
They pray, it's okay, "I'll promise that I'll be safe" uhh,
That's what he tells her as he looks her in the face
and as he walks away, lookin in her eye
Last kiss as they say...
Chorus
I pray this is not our last goodbye...... Goodbye (x2)
Verse 2
Uh, graduation; her nine weeks are done
Hoo-rah, Hooplah, now it's time to move on
Leavin' out of basic, she just got her assignment
She's headed off to war and it's hard for her to face it
(or face her), the daughter that she's leavin
It's hard to come to terms with the truth, no one
believes it
And even when it's starin in ya face, you don't
receive it,
She hears mommy, and it's just like her heart
stopped beatin
(beatin...beatin) inhales heavy breathin
Worried when she leaves she may not be back to
see them,
Her baby girl, and the family that she loves
Tryin to hold back the tears right now is
tough
She fights to stay strong, gotta hold on
She says a prayer, just tryin to find a calm
Thoughts of eternity, then back to reality
And then she tells her family...
Chorus
I pray this is not our last goodbye...Goodbye (x2)
I don't want to be alone, I dont wan...I dont wanna
be alone..No (x8)
