Kiss And Say Goodbye
The Countdown Singers · Other Songs - The Countdown Singers
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you any more
Because of my obligations
And the ties that you have
We've been meeting here every day
And since this is our last date together
I want to hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away
Don't look back I want to remember you just like this
Let's just kiss
And say goodbye
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done was wrong
Please, darling, don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Many months have passed us by
I'm gonna miss you I can't lie
I've got ties and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet another guy
Understand me won't you try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

As a member of a prominent vocal group, the artist contributed to a catalog of hits characterized by lush harmonies and catchy melodies, often drawing comparisons to contemporary R&B and doo-wop influences. The recording exemplifies the era's emphasis on emotional delivery and sophisticated arrangement, serving as a staple in collections of classic vocal group performances. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the romantic tension of the period without relying on explicit lyrical content, allowing the music itself to convey the narrative of parting and reconciliation. The track remains a representative work of the group's contribution to the pop landscape of its time.
