Goodbye (UK Version)

Dusty Springfield · Other Songs - Dusty Springfield

Go my love

Go softly goodbye

Life is like an empty dream

Lost in the sky

I see through my tears

The sadness of years

The shadows of happiness passing

I will miss the sun when you go

I will miss the mornings of laughter and tears

Your hello and more than this as you go

Gone is the light from the day

Gone is the pleasure of night

And when you go no more welcoming love

Or a dream

So goodbye my love

Goodbye

So my love

Go gently goodbye

Memories of loving you never will die

My longing will pass

My loving will last

The whispers of time never dimming

I will miss your touch when you go

I will miss the wonder of magical love

As it grows and more than this when you go

Gone is the warmth of your smile

Now is the coldness of snow

Gone when you go is the welcome of love

And the dream

So goodbye, my love

Goodbye
