Lyrics
GOODBYE
Words and Music by Kim York
We watched the dawn slip in through your window
And wash away the traces of perfume
Then came the sun to take away the shadows
And brighten up each corner of the room
We felt the night slowly disappearing
Along with all the things we had to say
It?s too late to take back the words
Passion let them loose and they got away from us
Now it?s time to part and I don?t know
where to start to say Goodbye
The words have slipped away
And I don?t know what to say but
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
Now you?d better go and rearrange the pillows
Erasing all reminders of the night
We?ll just let our thoughts dwell on happy hours
And all the time we held each other tight
?Cause daylight demands some things of a man
I know to you, it doesn?t mean a lot
I needed you, and you needed me
There?s nothing left to say
We don?t disagree
