A Bad Goodbye

Clint Black · Greatest Hits [RCA] [1996]

Clint:

I've been bound to leave you

We've known that for a while

I'm sure it's something I can't do

If I can't leave you with a smile

I don't know how far I'll have to go

Till I'm sure those eyes won't cry

And in my mind I've left enough to know

That I can't leave you with a bad goodbye



Wynona:

Goodbye, easier said than done

Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one

Whose goodbye you swore would never come

And in my goodbye you're finding none



Clint:

I'm still bound to leave you

I surely don't know how

My heart won't let me put you through

What my mind says should happen now



Both:

I don't know where we'll go from here

There may be no way to fly



Clint:

And the cloud I'm in just makes it all too clear

That I can't leave you with a bad goodbye



Both:

Goodbye, easier said than done

Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one

Whose goodbye you swore would never come

And in my goodbye you're finding none



How can we be so far between

Where we are and one more try



Clint:

And any way I look I've only seen



Both:

That I can't leave you with a bad goodbye
