Goodbye For Awhile

D A G Standing there at our front door D A G Dad was packed and ready to leave to fight some war D A G 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..... 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.CU. D A G I didn't want to believe the time had come but somehow I knew D A G I sat by her side and held her hand D A G F#m Em fighting back the tears and trying to stand G She said don't cry, it's not goodbye D A G They walked with Jesus by the sea D A G They'd seen him heal the sick and the lame, set the captives free D A G He told them " I must go prepare a place for you, D A G F#m Em that where I am one day you'll be there too." G But he said don't cry, cause it's not goodbye D A G It's just goodbye for awhile, it's not the end D A G I promise you the day will come, you will see me again D A Bm A G F#m So don't give up, dry those tears from your eyes Em A 'cause it's not goodbye for good G it's just goodbye for awhile Em just goodbye for awhile D just goodbye for awhile
