Brightman, a friend of Maske, approached Bocelli after she heard him singing "Con te partirò", whilst she was dining in a restaurant. Changing the title lyric of the song from "Con te partirò" (I’ll go with you) to "Time to Say Goodbye", they re-recorded it as a duet with members of the London Symphony Orchestra and sang it as a farewell for Maske. On 23 November, Maske lost the match on points, beaten by American champion Virgil Hill and retired from boxing. As the German public paid tribute to their departing hero, the arena was filled with the sound of "Time to Say Goodbye". The single was released and went straight to the top of the German charts where it stayed for fourteen weeks. With sales nearing three million copies, and a sextuple platinum award, "Time to Say Goodbye" eclipsed the previous best-selling single by more than one million copies.

Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As your best friend.
Did I ever think of you,
I'm not complaining.
I never tried to feel.
I never tried to feel.
This vibration.
I never tried to reach.
Your Eden.
(Your Eden, your Eden.)
Did I ever think of you,
As my enemy.
Did you ever think of me,
I'm complaining.
I never tried to feel.
I never tried to feel.
This vibration.
I never tried to reach.
I never tried to reach.
Your Eden.
(Your Eden, your Eden.)
I never tried to feel.
I never tried to
(Your Eden.)
The lyrics of Sarah Brightman's song "Eden" depict the hurt and confusion that can come from unrequited love. The singer is clearly in a deep infatuation with someone who does not reciprocate these feelings. They wonder if this person ever thought of them as a best friend, but ultimately acknowledge that they never tried to reach "Eden", or a romantic relationship, with them. The repetition of "I never tried to feel" and "I never tried to reach" highlights the singer's regret for not taking the chance to pursue a deeper connection with this person.
The chorus of the song, with its haunting refrain of "Your Eden, your Eden," adds to the sense of longing and unfulfilled desire. The singer is aware that their crush has something special that they cannot fully understand, something that sets them apart and makes them unattainable. The song's instrumentation, with its sweeping strings and ethereal vocals, enhances this emotional intensity and creates an almost otherworldly atmosphere.

@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.
