The Best of Goodbyes

Never say hello, if you can’t say goodbye

Never say you know, if you feel it’s a lie

The autumn is cold

Love can fade away

and the dreams of the night

are nothing but a sigh

And the love that you feel

is nothing but a word

turning in the wind

I could love you forever

but our love’s just a name

We could try for the distance

but it’s only a game

‘cause a bird flying south

is the best of goodbyes

And I long for its call in the night

Wouldn’t you agree

that it’s the time for goodbye

You get to understand

it’s a question of life

The excitement is gone

Baby, it's a fate

that we'll never escape

That bird is gonna fly

and we both say goodbye

Wouldn't you agree?

Wouldn't you agree?

I could love you forever

but our love's just a name

We could try for the distance

but it's only a game

'cause a bird flying south

is the best of goodbyes

And I long for its call in the night.

When I walk out the door

it's not the end of your life.

You know I'll only be saying goodbye

Don't pretend anymore

Gotta let the past be

Like that bird in the night, we are free

I could love you forever

but our love's just a name

We could try for the distance

but it's only a game

'cause a bird flying south

is the best of goodbyes

And I long for its call in the night

Yes I long for its call in the night
