Written by ricki & kim wilde

I will be there when you call
I will be there

It's so sad
When lovers part
They walk away and break their hearts
Yes I've had my share of tears
I walked away but now I'm here
'cause now that I can see
All the things that you're doing to me

I can't say goodbye
In the night I will be there
I will always stay around
In the day
I will be there when you call
When you call

I will be there when you call
I will be there
If you ever need me baby

I want you to understand
I need you now, I needed you then
Stupid things got in our way
But now I'm coming home to stay
'cause now that I can see
All the things that you're doing to me

I can't say goodbye
In the night I will be there
I will always stay around
In the day
I will be there when you call

Never gonna leave you
Now I'm gonna stay forever
'cause you know I need you
Never gonna leave you
Now I'm gonna stay forever

I can't say goodbye
And you know I tried to walk away
But the feeling deep inside of my soul
Told me to stay
'cause I can't say goodbye

I can't say goodbye
In the night I will be there
I will always stay around
In the day
I will be there if you call
'cause I can't say goodbye
