Story Behind The Song
Another song written when I was making a move from California to Michigan, leaving behind friends and family and feeling nostalgic. How do you say goodbye to someone with whom you have unspoken truths about your feelings? In my case, you do it with a song.

Lyrics
No More Goodbyes
V1: So many conflicting emotions
So many unanswered whys
What do we do with these feelings?
How do we say our goodbyes?
There's a part of me that wishes we'd
Explored how we feel for each other
I'd rather be adored
Than be just another lover
Cho: No more goodbyes
I've had enough of them in my life
Don't close the door - just keep it open
Keep hope alive
Please no more goodbyes
V2: You have a kind of quiet strength
Tempered by gentleness
That makes me want to shine for you
To be my very best
You let me see how life might be
With one who knows my worth
I caught a glimpse of heaven
Right here on planet earth
Cho:
V3: It may come as a surprise
Just how shy I really am
Those who see only the outer me
Might not understand
You make me feel protected
Desired, understood
I'd be with you if you asked me to
You know I would
Cho:
