Why I Haven'T Said Goodbye

You're the reason why we spend nights under the sky
Nothing but watching the dawn go down in your eyes
You're the reason why I'm still standing and deeply in love
For you make me whole and you give me hope
That no matter what goes on in this life, we'll get through
And babe I don't understand the reason why
It's been this long and I haven't said goodbye

You've made a believer out of me with your magic
Your love gets deeper and deeper more every day
We bond just like two super-glued feathers that never come apart
Cause I still feel the love when I'm a millions miles away
And I can feel what you're going through and how your day's been
Cause babe, I'm going through the same thing here
And the pain's just getting weak when my heart calls your name

Cause babe, you're the reason why we spend nights under the sky
Nothing but watching the dawn go down in your eyes
You're the reason why I'm still standing and deeply in love
For you make me whole and you give me hope
That no matter what goes on in this life, we'll get through
And babe I don't understand the reason why
It's been this long and I haven't said goodbye

Girl, I swear your touch fills me with your love
You know me better than anyone on this earth
You took me from a lonely rock bottom
Where no one came and never once say hello
Til I felt your love through your palms
I knew you were the one, sent to rescue me
An' you've showed me love and given me enough

They've always said, nothing could keep a pair together
But, to me, love keeps a pair hanging on each other
For years to come, I'll be holding on to you
For your love's the reason why I haven't said goodbye
