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 don’t wan...I don’t wanna

be alone..No (x8)
