[Verse 1]
Time's running out tonight
Hope fading out of sight
Standing in the pouring rain
Awaiting this forever coming train
The minutes turn like hours
And it seems to me somehow
This day will not be ours
Maybe it is meant to be that way
Maybe you're not supposed to hear me say
[Chorus]
Don't you try to say goodbye
Don't you try to say goodbye
Time's not on my side
And I don't want to cry
So don't you try to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Remembering It's Too Late
I know that I will hate
This song we used to sing
But now it will mean a different thing
And those timeless memories
They'll wash the happy years
With all the bitter tears
Oh one thing that I want you to know
Please just hold on and don't let go
[Chorus]
And don't you try to say goodbye
Don't you try to say goodbye
Time's not on my side
And I don't want to cry
Don't you try to say goodbye
Please don't try to say goodbye
Time's not on my side
And I don't want to cry
[Bridge]
Oh now minutes away from you
I've done all that I can do
To hold you in my arms for one more time
But I'm hearing suddenly
My heart beating inside of me
Louder than the sound of a flat line
[Chorus]
Don't you try to say goodbye
Don't you try to say goodbye
I know time's not on our side
Trying so hard not to cry
Don't you try to say goodbye, oh sweet darling
Please don't try to say goodbye
Time's not on our side
You won't see me cry
Don't you try to say goodbye
It's so hard to say goodbye
But I guess I have to say goodbye
