Don't Say Goodbye
Embracing Forever: Defying Goodbyes in Jeff Lynne's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Don't say good-bye don't even think about it
Expressing a plea to avoid parting, suggesting a desire for continuity.
Don't even let it cross your mind
Emphasizing the urgency of not allowing the thought of saying farewell.
Things will be fine and there's no doubt about it
Assuring that circumstances will improve, instilling confidence.
I always knew that we'd survive
Reflecting on the resilience of the relationship and the belief in its endurance.
So hold me close, never let me go
Expressing a desire for physical closeness and emotional connection.
I need you now more than ever before
Stressing the increased need for the partner's presence compared to previous times.
Don't change your mind don't even turn it over
Advising against reconsidering or questioning the commitment to the relationship.
Not after what we've been through
Referencing shared experiences, implying that these should strengthen the bond.
So hold me close, never let me go
Reiterating the need for emotional and physical closeness.
I need you now more than ever before
Reemphasizing the heightened importance of the partner in the current moment.
Don't say good-bye don't even think about it
Repeating the initial plea, underlining the importance of avoiding goodbyes.
Don't even let it cross your mind
Reiterating the urgency of not entertaining thoughts of separation.
And please don't ever say good-bye
Making a direct request to never utter farewell, expressing a strong desire for continuity.
Don't say good-bye
Repeated plea against saying goodbye, reinforcing the theme of continuity.
Don't say good-bye
Reiteration of the plea, emphasizing the avoidance of parting.
Don't say good-bye
Continued repetition, stressing the importance of not bidding farewell.
Don't say good-bye
Final repetition of the plea, concluding the song with a strong emphasis on continuity.
