How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye

Here we are so close to the end now

Still holding on, we try and pretend now

Clinging to love we both know is dying (

It's dying

)

We've tried and tried to find us a way out

But darling, our dreams have now all been played out

Still we go on hopelessly trying

But how many times can we say goodbye?

And how many times can we see love die?

And how many times can we give it one more try

Before we really say

goodbye

?

Mmm, goodbye (

Goodbye

)

We're so in love but wrong for each other

Each hurt that heals brings on another

Both of us used and both of us using (

Hey hey

)

Darling, it's time that we stop pretending

(Stop)

There's just no way to rewrite our ending

(No way)

We're caught in this game and we both know we're losing

Oh, but how many times can we say goodbye?

Hey, how many times can we feel love die?

Tell me how many times can we give it one more try (

One more

)

Before we really say goodbye?

Yeah, oh, oh-ho

(Whoa)[Bridge: Luther Vandross,

,

Both

How many times can we break up and make up?

Both of our hearts refusing to wake up

Just can't go on

(No)

and on

living a lie

Though I'll always love you

How many times can we say goodbye?

Oh, and how many times can we live this lie?

Hey yeah, how many times can we give it

one more try

? (

One more try

)

How any times

before we

really

(Really, really)

say goodbye

?

Bye-bye (

Goodbye

)

Bye-bye (

Goodbye

)

Bye-b-b-bye-bye-bye (

Goodbye

)

Hey hey, goodbye
