Goodbye
You came for coffee, you came for tea As you had done a thousand times before We used to talk, we used to laugh For hours I'd been waiting at the door When you came I saw a strange sadness in your eyes A sudden tear rolling down your cheek I asked: Baby, why do you cry? You said: I came for a final goodbye     [CHORUS] I'll hold you in sun as in rain I'll love you in laughter and pain And no one can divide us - Just as long as you recall my name in the night... And don't say goodbye I said: Girl, let me hold you one last time Just listen to the beating of my heart I held you closer then I did before But somehow I felt worlds apart I could have cried, but I tried to be strong When I held your shaking body close to mine Felt your hot breath in my face And I spoke the lie: Everything will be fine!     [CHORUS]     [SOLO] Finally you left and I closed the door The last thing I saw of you was your sad blue eyes And I realized what I still carried deep inside Unspoken love, emotions and those little white lies I lit a candle and sat down to think Future seemed so cold and black I prayed to see you soon again But deep inside I knew: you would never come back     [CHORUS]     [CHORUS] ...girl, you said goodbye
