Eric Schwartz Do Not Go Gently Unto That Goodbye Lyrics

Do Not Go Gently Unto That Goodbye Lyrics

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)
