Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song about the feelings of heartbreak and the longing for a true lasting relationship. I actually had the line "Into My Life" as a lyric for a long time. Then one day when I was looking at my old lyrics a melody came to me from that one line.

Lyrics
Before You Say Goodbye
Words and Music By James Wood
Our love was like a fairy tale that never seemed to end
we were just two strangers, became much more than friends.
then he came between us and everything went wrong
so tonight you'll back your bags, tomorrow you'll be gone
Pre-Chorus:
you gave in to temptation, now the tears they fall like rain
but i never felt real love until the day you came
Chorus:
into my life, into my world
i'm not the same without you girl
hold me closer, give it one more night
one more chance before you say goodbye.
what more can i do? now my dreams are torn apart
I see the sorrow in your eyes and i still feel you in my heart
Pre-Chorus:
now it's come full circle, it's down to you and me
you're all i've ever wanted, the only one i need
Chorus:
into my life, into my world
i'm not the same without you girl
hold me closer, give me one more night
one more chance before you say goodbye.
Bridge:
want so much to tell you, can i make you understand
when you?re in my arms, I?m a better man
Chorus:
into my life, into my world
i'm not the same without you girl
hold me closer, give me one more night
one more chance before...
chorus
into my life, into my soul
i could never let you go
so hold me closer, let's give it one more try
one more chance to find a way
one more chance, tonight i'll pray
for one more chance before you say goodbye.
