The Music Of Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A song I know so well
The music of goodbye again
It's there each time we say hello
As always there's no reason why again
You kissed me with your eyes
And in your arms I fly again
But even as we touched the clouds
There in the quiet is goodbye again
Perhaps the way I hold you
Makes you afraid I'll hold you
Makes you afraid to love me
Love me
As through the night we dance
The tender dance I'd try again
I hear it playing softly
And sadly
The music of goodbye
Goodbye
Perhaps the way I hold you
Makes you afraid I'll hold you
Makes you afraid to love me
Love me
As through the night we dance
The tender dance I'd try again
I hear it playing softly
And sadly
The music of goodbye
Goodbye
