Goodbye To Romance
Ozzy Osbourne · Blizzard of Ozz
Tomorrow will I find the sun
Or will it rain
Everybody's having fun
Except for me I'm the lonely one
i live in shame
[Chorus]
I say
Goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends,
Goodbye to all the Past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end
I've been the king
I've been the clown
No broken wings can hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with a broken crown
It won't be me this time around
To love in vain
[Chorus]
I feel the time is right
Although I know you just might
Say to me
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
But I had to take this chance goodbye
To friends and to romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
[Chorus]
And the weather's looking fine
And I think the sun will shine again
And I feel I've cleared my mind
All the past is left behind again
[Chorus]
Goodbye To Romance - Ozzy Osbourne

The song features the band's signature blend of hard rock and heavy metal, driven by Randy Rhoads' melodic guitar work and Osbourne's distinctive vocal delivery. As a staple of the album's tracklist, it captures the raw energy and rebellious spirit of early 1980s rock, influencing countless subsequent artists in the genre. The recording remains a critical piece of Osbourne's discography, showcasing the evolution of his style from his earlier blues-based roots to the modern heavy metal aesthetic that cemented his legacy.
