Goodbye For Awhile

Verse 1: Standing there at our front door Dad was packed and ready to leave to fight some war I sat on the front porch and bowed my head wondering if I'd ever see him again But he said don't cry, It's not goodbye..... It's just goodbye for awhile, it's not the end I promise you the day will come you will see me again Don't give up, and dry those tears from your eyes Because it's not goodbye for good it's just goodbye for awhile Verse 2: As she lay in I.C.U. I didn't want to believe the time had come but somehow I knew I sat by her side and held her hand fighting back the tears and trying to stand She said don't cry, it's not goodbye.... Chorus: ...... Instrumental: ..... Verse 3: They walked with Jesus by the sea They'd seen him heal the sick and the lame, set the captives free He told them " I must go prepare a place for you, that where I am one day you'll be there too." But he said don't cry, cause it's not goodbye.... It's just goodbye for awhile, it's not the end I promise you the day will come, you will see me again So don't give up, dry those tears from your eyes 'cause it's not goodbye for good.... .......... it's just goodbye for awhile Tag: ..... just goodbye for awhile just goodbye for awhile
