When you see love
And you don't know what it is
You might find yourself in fear
To show your heart

But when you feel it
And it's oh, so wonderful
You might find yourself in fear
To let it part, in fear to let it part

So hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when she feels
She needs a hand to hold
Someone who'll never let her go again

And hold him closer when he tries
To hold the tears back from his eyes
Don't say goodbye
When your heart decides

That it's time to let it through
There's no reason to be scared
To open up
'Cause love may be blind

But all of us don't see it
So just once in your life
If you hear the knock of love
Just let it in

Hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when you know it's time to say goodbye
You hurry back to see her smile again
And hold him closer when he's down

When his world is upside down
Turn it around
So hold her closer when she cries
Hold her closer when she feels

She needs a hand to hold
Someone who'll never let her go again
And hold her closer when she's down
When her world is upside down

Turn it around
Hold her close

    i always thought that at the end of the first chorus it said 'say goodbye', not 'dont say goodbye'. i was thouroughly confused, as that would be a mixed message. thanks for clearing it up :)

    it is "Say goodbye" (don't know where the person that posted this got "don't say goodbye" from).

    Yes, it is 'say goodbye'. The song is saying that sometimes when you love someone, the feelings are too powerful for you to handle, so you should let that person go until both of you are ready to feel those feelings together.
