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
