Time To Say Goodbye

Andrea Bocelli · Vivere - The Best Of [2007]

Sarah

When I'm alone

I dream of the horizon

and words fail;

yes, I know there is no light

in a room where the sun is absent,

if you are not here with me.

At the windows

show everyone my heart

which you set alight;

enclose within me

the light you

encountered on the street.



Time to say goodbye. -- I'll go with you

to countries I never

saw and shared with you,

now, yes, I shall experience them.

I'll go with you

on ships across seas

which, I know,

no, no, exist no longer;

it's time to say goodbye. -- with you I shall experience them.



Andrea

When you are far away

I dream of the horizon

and words fail,

and, yes, I know

that you are with me;

you, my moon, are here with me,

my sun, you are here with me

with me, with me, with me.



Time to say goodbye. -- I'll go with you

to countries I never

saw and shared with you,

now, yes, I shall experience them.

I'll go with you

on ships across seas

which, I know,

no, no, exist no longer,



Both

with you I shall experience them again.

I'll go with you

on ships across seas

which, I know,

no, no, exist no longer,

with you I shall experience them again.

I'll go with you.



You and me.

Time To Say Goodbye

Andrea Bocelli's 'Time To Say Goodbye' stands as a poignant addition to his extensive catalogue of romantic ballads, capturing the universal sentiment of parting with grace. Recorded for the 2007 compilation 'Vivere - The Best Of', the track exemplifies Bocelli's signature style, blending classical vocal technique with contemporary pop arrangements to create an emotionally resonant listening experience. The song reflects the Italian tradition of expressing deep affection and sorrow through melody, characteristic of his work alongside artists like Celine Dion and Sarah Brightman. As a staple of his discography, it continues to appeal to audiences seeking the warmth and sincerity found in his most celebrated recordings.
