The song The Goodbye Girl is performed by Hootie & The Blowfish .
All your life you've waited for love to come and stay
Now that I have found you, you must not slip away
I know it's hard believin' the words you've heard before
Darlin' you must trust them for me
Trust them just once more
Cause baby goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't be long away oh
'Cause the things you do my Goodbye Girl
Will bring me back to you.
I know you've been taken, afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me instead of givin' in
I can wait forever, a-helpin' you to see
I was meant for you, my love and you were meant for me
Remember goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart you still have my heart
So forget your past my Goodbye Girl
Now you're home at last.
