|
It's like the most amazing sunset you've ever seen
|
There's never another quite the same
|
It just falls into some deep eternal sea
|
Like the end of a movie that makes you cry
|
You're sad when it's over but you're glad you had
|
That moment that moved you deep inside
|
|
Beautiful goodbye, baby goodbye
|
I enjoyed the ride, we really had us a time
|
It's a strange kind of high
|
A beautiful goodbye
|
|
An standin' here watchin' you drive away
|
We were so grown up about it all
|
But how will it look in the light of day?
|
I miss you already but don't turn around
|
It's funny how you know when it just won't work
|
And how letting go can echo the sweetest sound
|
|
Beautiful goodbye, baby goodbye
|
I enjoyed the ride, we really had us a time
|
It's a strange kind of high
|
A beautiful goodbye
|
|
So ironic, and so confusing
|
To do the right thing and be losing
|
I'm always stuck with choosing
|
And ain't that just like life?
|
Hey yeah, hey yeah
|
|
Beautiful goodbye, baby goodbye
|
I enjoyed the ride, we really had us a time
|
It's a strange kind of high
|
A beautiful goodbye
|
|
Goodbye, yeah
|
Na na nan na nan na, goodbye
|
----------------------
|
A kiss on my cheek,
|
as you pull away your hand.
|
I stand there dumbfounded;
|
trying to understand.
|
You let me down easy.
|
I even saw a tear.
|
What I thought was happiness;
|
just turned to my biggest fear.
|
The echo of your voice,
|
still rings in my ear.
|
Repeating those words,
|
I never wanted to hear.
|
"Things have changed alot since then, Sweetheart.
|
You can't have a relationship,
|
with only one doing their part.
|
We've both done some growing.
|
It's something we needed to do.
|
And I'm sorry when I say this,
|
but I'm not anymore, in love with you.
|
It breaks my heart," he said,
|
"to sit here and watch you cry.
|
But always remember me.
|
And this is my beautiful goodbye."
