Lyrics
GOODBYE MY DARLING
Words & Music Susan Nikas
Why do we choose the one we choose
Why do we win, why do we lose
The wheel of fortune turns around
On top of the world, then down to the ground
You went off to work one day
And you never came home
Goodbye my Darling
Goodbye my sweetheart
The time has come
For us to part
On that day all I did was cry
Overcome and asking why
Trying to sleep and wanting to die
Oh please let it be a lie
Bargaining, pleading for a reprieve
Oh God, why him, why me
Goodbye my darling?
Memory whispers in my ear
I lean over trying to hear
Then I hear your voice so sweet and clear
And I see you standing there
Your blue eyes and your crooked grin
That?s when the tears begin
Goodbye my darling?
