Key: D
Introduction:
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.C.U.
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....
Chorus: ......
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..........
D
just goodbye for awhile
