Don’t Let Your Goodbye Stand Songtext
von Honk

If your changing can′t include me, it was a matter of time and fear
'Cause I hear most regularly, like the turning of the year
That young men gettin′ older grow sincere and much too dry
I'll understand if I can't hold you, and I won′t share the tears I′ll cry

But would you steal from a dying man?
Love from an outstretched hand?
If it upsets no prior plan, reprieve me, yeah, oh
Don't let your goodbye stand
And don′t let your goodbye stand
And don't let your goodbye stand


You can have the better of me at your game and at your rules
I′ll concede the labels gladly as your warm affection cools
But don't put me out to pasture, then you′re lying eyes to me
And true, it just won't last, your borrowed time to sweet his knee
Tell me about your brand new loom and your shopping trips to town
But don't let conversations leave no room to turn your head around

As you steal from a dying man
Love from an outstretched hand
Upsets no prior plan, reprieve me
And don′t let your goodbye stand
And don′t let your goodbye stand
And don't let your goodbye stand

You lose a few more hours with me, the ones I′ll gain with you
But your waning footsteps sadly indicate your changing view

But if you steal from a dying man
Love from an outstretched hand
If it upsets no prior plan, reprieve me
And don't let your goodbye stand
And don′t let your goodbye stand
And don't let your goodbye stand
