Time to Say Goodbye
Papermoon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's time to go home now
The party is over
And we won't see you
For a long long time

We stay there alone now
It's getting colder
They turn the lights off
We open a bottle of wine

It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say how much
We really love you
It's time to say I won't cry
Cause someday we'll meet again

It's time to go home now
The party's over
We'd like to thank you
We had a wonderful time

Bright days are gone now
We have grown older
The night is colder
Our star still shines





It's time to say goodbye …

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Papermoon's song "Time to Say Goodbye" speak about the end of a party and the departure of a loved one. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging that it's time to leave and that the party is finished. From the second line, it's clear that the person being spoken to won't be seen for a long time to come, and the lyrics carry a sense of sadness and loss.


The second verse talks about the aftermath of the party as the revellers leave and the singer is left alone with their thoughts. The colder temperatures and the turning off of the lights are juxtaposed against the opening of a bottle of wine, which suggests the singer is coming to terms with their feelings and trying to find solace.


The chorus repeats the song's title phrase, emphasizing the inevitability of the situation and the need to express affection in the face of loss. The reference to not crying suggests the singer is accepting the situation but still holding onto hope that they will one day see their loved one again.


The final verse speaks to the passage of time and the singer's growing sense of nostalgia as they look back on the bright days of the past. The use of the star metaphor suggests that while things may have changed, memories and connections continue to shine on.
