Time to Say Goodbye
When I'm alone
I dream on the horizon
and words fail;
yes, I know there is no light
in a room
if you are not with me.
At the windows
show everyone my heart
which you set alight;
enclose within me
the light you
encountered on the street.
Time to say goodbye,
to countries I never
saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them,
I'll go with you
on ships across seas
which, I know,
no, no, exist no longer;
with you I shall experience them.
When you are far away
I dream on the horizon
and words fail,
and yes, I know
that you are with me;
you, my moon, are here with me,
my sun, you are here with me.
with me, with me, with me,
Time to say goodbye,
to countries I never
saw and shared with you,
now, yes, I shall experience them,
I'll go with you
on ships across seas
which, I know,
no, no, exist no longer;
with you I shall re-experience them.
I'll go with you
on ships across seas
which, I know,
no, no, exist no longer;
with you I shall re-experience them.
I'll go with you,
I with you.
The hauntingly beautiful song, Time to Say Goodbye, by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman, is a heartfelt tribute to love and loss.

The song speaks of dreaming on the horizon, where words fail to capture the depth of emotion and longing that one feels when separated from their love. The absence of light in a room without the sun is likened to the emptiness one feels when they are without their significant other.

The song takes on a universal theme of longing and nostalgia and presents them in a beautiful poetic expression. The lyrics are a reminder that despite the changing times, love remains eternal and steadfast.

When I'm alone
In times of solitude
I dream on the horizon
I envision a future full of possibilities
and words fail;
And I can’t express my feelings through language
yes, I know there is no light
Yes, I understand that darkness may exist
in a room where the sun is not there
In a place absent of joy
if you are not with me.
If you are not by my side to bring brightness to my life
At the windows
Through the panes of glass
show everyone my heart
I reveal my innermost emotions
which you set alight;
That you have ignited passion within me
enclose within me
Hold close to my soul
the light you encountered on the street.
The spark you discovered out in the world.
Time to say goodbye,
It’s time to part ways
to countries I never saw and shared with you,
To places that we never had the chance to visit together
now, yes, I shall experience them,
But now I will embark on those journeys with you
I'll go with you
I will accompany you
on ships across seas
Sailing on the vast ocean waters
which, I know,
That I am certain
no, no, exist no longer;
That no longer exist
with you I shall experience them.
But together we will have new, beautiful experiences.
When you are far away
When distance separates us
I dream on the horizon
I imagine a world where we are together
and words fail,
And I cannot find the words to express myself
and yes, I know
But I know deep down
that you are with me;
That you are always in my heart
you, my moon, are here with me,
You, my guiding light, fill me with hope
my sun, you are here with me.
You, my source of warmth and light, bring happiness to my life.
with me, with me, with me,
Always and forever by my side
I'll go with you
I will be with you
on ships across seas
Traveling across oceans
which, I know,
That I am so sure of
no, no, exist no longer;
No longer exist in the same way that they did before.
with you I shall re-experience them.
But with you, I will rediscover these parts of the world.
I'll go with you,
I am always ready to go with you, no matter where.
