Lirieke: Eric Schwartz. Do Not Go Gently Unto That Goodbye.

There?s a rumor around that your love?s going down
And you ain?t gonna stop it from dying
If as you?ve said, it?s long since been dead
Well how come your woman is still crying?
It seems such a shame, but now we?re inane
Of all that is holy and good
I offer you this and I hope you will listen
And somewhere, you know that you should

CHORUS
Time is a teacher
And love is the lesson
And life is a classroom
And everyone?s guessin?
But you won?t ever learn if you don?t even try
Well do not go gently unto that goodbye
Do not go gently unto that goodbye

Well your lady is true and she?s waiting for you
But you know that she won?t wait for long
She?s too full of pride to take this in stride
And as soon as she goes, she?ll be gone

But love isn?t leisure, it?s kind of a treasure
You have to continue to find
But go on, get wise and open your eyes
I think you?ll be changing your mind
?Cause...

CHORUS

And I don?t have to tell you it?s wrong
Leaving a lady you?ve loved for so long
But she is the best thing that you?ll ever know
And you?ll live to regret it if you let her go

Well I?m not trying to scold you, but all that I?ve told you
Is simple but so hard to see
But I think I?ve been clear and I hope that I hear it
When someday you say it to me

CHORUS (x2)
