It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm
But it's goodbye again, and I'm sorry to be leaving you
But other voices beckon me and for a little while
And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come
It's anyone who will listen to me sing
And if your hours are empty now, then who am I to blame
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms
I have to go and see some friends of mine, and some that I don't know
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
And some who aren't familiar with my name
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
You think if I was always here our love would be the same
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand
Goodbye again, this you didn't know
Goodbye again, this you didn't know
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile
It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
Goodbye again, this you didn't know
As it is, the time we have is worth the time alone
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
