Soft Goodbye
Lisa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the light begins to fade
And shadows fall across the sea,
One bright star in the evening sky.
Your love's light leads me on my way.

There's a dream that will not sleep,
A burning hope that will not die.
So I must go now with the wind,
And leave you waiting on the tide.

Time to fly, time to touch the sky.
One voice alone, a haunting cry.
One song, one star burning bright,
May it carry me through darkest night.

Rain comes over the gray hills,
And on the air, a soft goodbye.
Hear the song that I sing to you
When the time has come to fly.

When I leave and take the wind
And find the land that faith will bring,




The brightest star in the evening sky
Is your love waiting far for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lisa's song "Soft Goodbye" convey a sense of departure, as if the singer is leaving a loved one behind to pursue their own dreams. The opening lines paint a picture of a sunset, where "shadows fall across the sea" and the only light remaining is "one bright star in the evening sky," a symbol of the love between the two.


The singer expresses a desire to leave despite the dream that "will not sleep" and the "burning hope that will not die." This suggests a conflict within the character - on one hand, they want to follow their dreams, but on the other, they are torn by their love for the other person. They "must go now with the wind," even though they leave the other "waiting on the tide."


The chorus of the song emphasizes the solitude of the singer's journey, as they fly and sing alone, hauntingly. The lyrics speak to the idea that one strong emotion, one bright light, such as the love that they have, can guide a person through their darkest moments.



Line by Line Meaning

When the light begins to fade
As the day comes to an end


And shadows fall across the sea,
Obscurity covers the ocean


One bright star in the evening sky.
A shining star stands out in the darkness


Your love's light leads me on my way.
The affection we share motivates me to move forward


There's a dream that will not sleep,
A vision that endures even as I rest


A burning hope that will not die.
An intense desire that persists through hardship


So I must go now with the wind,
It is time for me to leave with the breeze


And leave you waiting on the tide.
And depart while you watch the waves


Time to fly, time to touch the sky.
Time to journey and reach for the heavens


One voice alone, a haunting cry.
A solitary sound, a mournful call


One song, one star burning bright,
One melody, one sparkling celestial body


May it carry me through darkest night.
May it guide me through the bleakest moments


Rain comes over the gray hills,
The precipitation falls upon the colorless mountains


And on the air, a soft goodbye.
And in the atmosphere, a gentle farewell


Hear the song that I sing to you
Listen to the melody that I dedicate to you


When the time has come to fly.
When the moment arrives to journey


When I leave and take the wind
When I depart and travel with the breeze


And find the land that faith will bring,
And arrive at the place where my belief has taken me


The brightest star in the evening sky
The most brilliant celestial body in the darkening heavens


Is your love waiting far for me
Is your affection patiently anticipating my return
