Time To Say Goodbye
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when I dream the words are missing
Yes I know that in a room so full of light
That all the light is missing
But I don't see you with me, with me
Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room
Through the door you've opened
That you met in the darkness
Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go
On ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
It's time to say goodbye
When you were so far away
I sit alone and dream of the horizon
Then I'd know that you are here with me
Building bridges over land and sea
Shine a blinding light for you and me
To see, for us to be
Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go
on ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
Without true light of my own
With you I will go
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own?
With you I will go on ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
I love you

When I am alone I sit and dream
I often daydream when I'm alone.
And when I dream the words are missing
My dreams lack language and are abstract.
Yes I know that in a room so full of light That all the light is missing But I don't see you with me, with me
Even though I'm in a brightly lit room, I still feel like something is missing, and that something is you.
Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room Through the door you've opened Close inside of me the light you see That you met in the darkness
I want to close myself off from the outside world and let the light you brought into my life fill me up.
Time to say goodbye Horizons are never far Would I have to find them alone Without true light of my own? With you I will go On ships over seas That I now know No, they don't exist anymore It's time to say goodbye
It's time for us to part ways, but I'm scared of what I'll find without you. I'll follow you across the ocean into the unknown because without you, the things I previously held dear no longer exist for me.
When you were so far away I sit alone and dream of the horizon Then I'd know that you are here with me Building bridges over land and sea Shine a blinding light for you and me To see, for us to be
When you were far from me, I would dream of being together by building bridges between us, and shining a light so bright that we could both see it and be together.
Without true light of my own With you I will go Horizons are never far Would I have to find them alone With you I will go on ships over seas That I now know No, they don't exist anymore I love you
I've realized that my true light is you, and that I don't want to go find horizons alone anymore. I want to go with you on ships over the seas, even if the things I once believed in are no longer there. I love you.

@minifang1657
Quando sono solo
Sogno all’orizzonte
E mancan le parole
Sì lo so che non c’è luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me
Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore
Che hai acceso
Chiudi dentro me
La luce che
Hai incontrato per strada
Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te
Adesso si li vivrò
Con te partirò
Su navi per mari
Che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono più
It’s time to say goodbye

I was at work when I discovered this song. My husband was in the hospital with leukemia and he was losing the battle. I cried like a baby. 22 years later I still cry. I still talk to my husband a lot because I believe he can hear. Our bodies die but our spirit lives on.
