Goodbye Song
by Barbara Thomas, 1972
I didn't know much about you
When I first began to care;
I didn't know just what it was
That made me walk on air.
Each time you spoke or held my hand
I cherished the love we shared.
Goodbye is such a lonely word
It's as cold as the new-fallen snow.
So don't ever say goodbye to me
My heart still says hello.
The songs you sang were beautiful;
They almost made me cry.
They spoke of the joy that love can bring;
But when I asked you why
That joy could not last longer --
You only said goodbye.
Goodbye is such a lonely word,
It's as cold as the new-fallen snow.
So don't ever say goodbye to me
My heart still says hello.
I saw you once again today,
Your new love by your side.
I heard you sing to her my songs;
I tried hard not to cry.
For I had tried to convince myself
My love for you had died.
Goodbye is such a lonely word,
It's as cold as the new-fallen snow.
Once you said goodbye to me
But my heart still says hello.
