Before You Say Goodbye

I see you moving toward the door
I see that distant look in your eyes
I ask if you'd like any more
Your answer doesn't come as a surprise

Distraction, conversation
Now the time has gone and it's too late
I wait for your reaction
Sit and watch the action on my plate

Kiss my lips, take my hand
Put your battered arms around me and hold tight
Have another glass of wine and close your eyes
And as long as we're here
Why not just count all the stars up in the sky
That should keep you here before you say goodbye

I'm not a lunatic tonight
I made myself that promise last time
But I won't give up without a fight
Refusal to move off this one line

What is this hyperactive
Too distractive to believe the truth
Instead I'm just reactive
Getting late to blame it on my youth

Kiss my lips, take my hand
Put your battered arms around me and hold tight
Have another glass of wine and close your eyes
And as long as we're here
Why not just count all the stars up in the sky
That should keep you here before you say goodbye
