Maybe if we try,
Maybe if we close our eyes,
Maybe then we’ll believe life will go on.

Baby, don’t you cry,
Raise your head and welcome the morning.
Trust the future, though I’ll be gone.

Help me say goodbye.
Help me turn and walk like a soldier,
Do my duty, there’s a war to be won.

	In my dreams I’ll kiss you goodnight.
	In my thoughts I’ll hold you tight,
	It’s your love that brings peace in my heart.

	Though it’s hard to walk away,
	We’ll make it day by day,
	And I’ll soon be home to stay.

		Help me say goodbye.

		(guitar interlude)

	When we’re old we’ll look back and smile,
	Proud our love withstood this trial,
	And the good that we did made it all worthwhile.

	Troubled times have come before,
	But our love is stronger than this war.
	We will live to love once more.
		
		Help me say goodbye.
