Based on sales, Boyz II Men is one of the most successful R&B groups of all time, having recorded five #1 pop hits between 1992 and 1997. They have since topped sales of 25 million records. Three of their #1 hits, "End of the Road", "I'll Make Love to You", and "One Sweet Day" (a duet with Mariah Carey), set and broke records for the longest period of time a single remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Boyz II Men were originally signed to Motown Records from 1990 to 2000, at which point they were moved to parent label Universal Records. After the 2000 album Nathan Shawn Michael Wanya, Boyz II Men moved to Arista Records. In 2003, Michael McCary left the group due to chronic back problems resulting from scoliosis. As of 2005, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Nathan Morris continue to tour and record as a trio.
It's So Hard To Say Good Bye To Yesterday
Boyz II Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad
I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
Is going to lead
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through
and if we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
The lyrics to Boyz II Men's song "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" are rich with emotion and nostalgia. Essentially, the song is about the difficulty of letting go of the past and moving on. The first verse talks about how hard it is to say goodbye to the good times that were shared with someone, even though there may have been some bad times too. This is a sentiment that many people can relate to - it's often much easier to hold on to the happy memories of a relationship or friendship than to let go and move forward.
The second verse goes deeper, acknowledging that the future is uncertain, and that it's hard to know where life will take us. This is a fearful thought for many people - the idea that the best is behind us and we have no idea what's coming next. However, there's a glimmer of hope in the line "and if we get to see tomorrow, I hope it's worth all the wait." This suggests that even though it's hard to look forward to the future, it's important to hope for something better.
