  • Do you see me ~ do I see you
    And all the footprints we left in this room
    A smile in the hall ~ framed on the wall
    Do we way words that rise and fall like the circles of blue
    Shoes on the floor ~ they're intertwined
    Just like the touch we left behind
    Walk through the door and say no more
    Say no more easy alibis to put out the fire

    (Chorus)
    It's the perfect goodbye
    No time no tell ~ as from your lips the words that never fell
    It's a simple farewell

    No fight no flight ~ no live no die
    No me no cry cry cry cry
    No me no cry
    Hang up the phone ~ I should have known
    Better alone that killing time with fake valentines

    (Chorus)

    I'll see you sometime ~ once in awhile
    No partners in crime ~ just a face in the file

    (Chorus) Writer/s: ANN WILSON, CRAIG STEVEN BARTOCK, NANCY LAMOUREAUX WILSON

  • Kayla from D-ville, GaI love this song!!!! It has so much passion to it. The song say's it all! If you were in a really bad relationship and you just broke it off and just let go, then that was the "Perfect Goodbye" for you. I LOVE HEART and Nancy and Ann Wilson sing this perfectly. :)
