Hard to Say Goodbye
Sharon Leal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We didn't make forever
We've each got to go our separate ways
And now were standing here helpless
Looking for something to say
We've been together a long time

We never thought it would end
We were always so close to each other

You were always my friend

And its hard to say goodbye my love
Its hard to see you cry my love
Its hard to open up that door when you're not sure what you're going for

We didn't want this to happen

But we shouldn't feel sad

We had a good life together

Just remember all the times we had

You know I'll always love u
You know I'll always care
And no mater how far I may go
In my heart you'll always be there

And its hard to say goodbye my love
Its hard to see you cry my love
Its hard to open up that door when you're not sure what you're going for
But we've got to grow
We've got to try
Though its hard so hard
We have to say goodbye my love

We didn't make forever but I will always love you
We didn't make forever
But I will always love you

It's so hard
Baby its so hard
It's so hard
Baby its so hard




It's so hard
Baby its so hard

We didn't make forever.
We each got to go our seperate way,
And now we're standing here, helpless,
Looking for something to say
We've been together a long time.
We never thought it would end.
We were always so close to each other;
You were always my friend.

And it's hard to say good-bye, my love.
Hard to see you cry, my love.
Hard to open up that door.
You're not sure what you're going for

We didn't want this to happen,
But we shouldn't feel sad.
We had a good life together.
Just remember, remember, all the times we had.

You'll know I'll always love you.
You'll know I'll always care.
And no matter how far I may go, In my hart, You'll always be there.

(It's so hard) And it's hard to say good-bye, my love.
Hard to see you cry, my love.
Hard to open up that door.
You're not sure what you're going for.
We've got to work it, We've got to try,
Though it's hard, so hard We have to say good-bye

(Baby, it's so hard.) We didn't make forever.
But I’ll always love you
We didn't make forever.
But I’ll always love you
(Baby, it's so hard)

We didn't make forever.
We each got to go our seperate way,
And now we're standing here, helpless,
Looking for something to say.
We've been together a long time.
We never thought it would end.
We were always so close to each other;
You were always my friend.



And it's hard to say good-bye, my love.
It's hard to see you cry, my love.
Hard to open up that door.
When you're not sure what you're going for.

We didn't want this to happen,
But we shouldn't feel sad.
We had a good life together.
Just remember, remember, all the times we had.
You know I'll always love you
You know I'll always care
And know matter how far (far I may go) I may go,
In my heart, you'll always be there

(It's so hard) hard to say good-bye, my love.
(Baby, it's so hard) hard to see you cry, my love.
(It's so hard) hard to open up that door,
When you're not sure what you're going for.

(It's so hard.)
Good-bye my love.
(Baby, it's so hard.)
We didn't make forever.
It's so hard.
I can feel there's something more.
(When you're not sure what you're going for.)
We've gotta grow,
We've gotta try,
Though it's hard, so hard
We have to say good-bye
Though it's hard, so hard
We have to say
We didn't make forever.
But I will always love you.
We didn't make forever.
But I will always love you.
It's so hard.
Baby it's so hard
It's so hard.
Baby it's so hard.

Deena (The Dreams) we didn't make forever
We've each got to go our seperate way
And now we're standing here, helpless

We never thought it would end
We were always so close to each other
You were always my friend
And it's hard to say good-bye, my love
Hard to see you cry, my love
Hard to open up that door
