Time to Say Goodbye
Андреа Бочелли & Sarah Brightman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I am alone I sit and dream
And when I dream the words are missing
Yes I know that in a room so full of light
That all the light is missing
But I don't see you with me, with me

Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room
Through the door you've opened
Close inside of me the light you see
That you met in the darkness

Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go
On ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
It's time to say goodbye

When you were so far away
I sit alone and dream of the horizon
Then I'd know that you are here with me
Building bridges over land and sea
Shine a blinding light for you and me
To see, for us to be

Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go
on ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
Without true light of my own

With you I will go
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go on ships over seas
That I now know




No, they don't exist anymore
I love you

Line by Line Meaning

When I am alone I sit and dream
When I am by myself, I imagine a different reality.


And when I dream the words are missing
In my dreams, there are no words, only feelings.


Yes I know that in a room so full of light
Even in a bright, well-lit room,


That all the light is missing
I still feel like something is missing, and that is you.


But I don't see you with me, with me
Even though I desire your presence, I cannot see you here beside me.


Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room
Shut the world out, and allow the light to enter my personal space.


Through the door you've opened
Through the opening that you have created.


Close inside of me the light you see
Allow the light that you see within me to shine and grow even brighter.


That you met in the darkness
The light that you discovered when we were surrounded by darkness.


Time to say goodbye
It's time to let go.


Horizons are never far
New possibilities are always within reach.


Would I have to find them alone
Do I have to face these new opportunities alone?


Without true light of my own?
Do I have enough personal strength and optimism to explore these new things on my own?


With you I will go
But if we are together,


On ships over seas
We will sail together over vast oceans.


That I now know
That previously I did not believe existed.


No, they don't exist anymore
The former limits of my imagination no longer exist.


Without true light of my own
If I were alone, I feel like I would not have the personal strength to keep exploring.


I love you
Simply, I love you.

Quando sono solo
Sogno all’orizzonte
E mancan le parole
Sì lo so che non c’è luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me

Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai acceso
Chiudi dentro me
La luce che
Hai incontrato per strada

Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso si li vivrò
Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
It’s time to say goodbye

I was at work when I discovered this song. My husband was in the hospital with leukemia and he was losing the battle. I cried like a baby. 22 years later I still cry. I still talk to my husband a lot because I believe he can hear. Our bodies die but our spirit lives on.
