Lyrics
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY GOODBYE
As god takes you away
I watch your soul trail behind
He leaves your lifeless body beside
I can?t believe that
This is how it ends
In this world I?ll never see you again
So blow a kiss at me & fly away
Because I know you?ll travel far
The thought of losing you just tears me up inside
I don?t know how to say goodbye
I hear you every time the wind blows
I hear you calling out my name
As I walk along the beach
On a warm and windy night
I see your silhouette in the sea of life
When I try to sleep at night
It?s a cold and lonely place
Till I feel your breath on my face
So blow a kiss at me & fly away
Because I know you?ll travel far
The thought of losing you just tears me up inside
I don?t know how to say goodbye
Do you think of me sometimes?
Can you hear me when I cry?
Can you hear me saying goodbye?..
