Time to Say Goodbye
Nina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time we say goodbye I die a little
Every time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go

When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor




Every time we say goodbye

Just the other day I said hello to you.
Now it seems like time has passed us by.
I wish there was a treasure I could show to you
To make our love come back and never die.
Now it's time to say goodbye
I don't know why
Things happen as they do w/ only you
Now I think I'm gonna cry
But at least I know we try
Oh baby it's time to say goodbye.
Goodbye to all the things we hold so dear to us.
Goodbye to all the things we used to do.
Goodbye to everybody far and near to us
But that won't ever stop me from loving you.
Now it's time to say goodbye
I don't know why
Things happen as they do w/ only you
Wish I didn't have to go
But deep inside I know
That baby it's time to say goodbye.
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Goodbye…goodbye…
Now it's time to say goodbye
I don't know why
Things happen as they do w/ only you
Wish I didn't have to go
But deep inside I know
That baby it's time to say goodbye.
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye to all the things we used to do now
It's time to say goodbye to all the family and friends
It's time to say goodbye to all the friends we used to see now
Even though I know that this is really not the end
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Goodbye
