By Del Way

Verse 1:

D A G

Standing there at our front door

D A G

Dad was packed and ready to leave to fight some war

I sat on the front porch and bowed my head

D A G F#m Em

wondering if I'd ever see him again

G

But he said don't cry, It's not goodbye.....

Chorus:

D A G

It's just goodbye for awhile, it's not the end

D A

I promise you the day will come

G

you will see me again

D A Bm A G F#m

Don't give up, and dry those tears from your eyes

Em A

Because it's not goodbye for good

G

it's just goodbye for awhile

D A G

As she lay in I.C.U.

D A G

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

G

She said don't cry, it's not goodbye....

They'd seen him heal the sick and the lame,

set the captives free

that where I am one day you'll be there too."
