Ain't it funny how the time slips away   'Cause now I'm leavin' and I wish I could stay   People wonder why they don't get a chance   They wait for music but they don't get to dance      Mmm, well now I know when my work is through   I'm gonna be with you      So goodbye is only for now   'Cause I'm comin' back, I swear it somehow      Ain't it funny how we win but we lose   We're given prizes that we don't get to use   People wonder 'bout the things that we've got   It seems so little but we know it's a lot      Now I know when my work is through   I'm gonna be with you, oh yeah   I'm gonna be with you      So goodbye is only for now   'Cause I'm comin' back, I swear it somehow   Oh, goodbye is only for now   'Cause I'm comin' back, I swear it somehow   Sing it      I'm on the run so I must go   And I hate to leave, I hope that you know      Oh, goodbye is only for now   'Cause I'm comin' back, I swear it somehow
