The Long Goodbye

I know they say if you love somebody

You should set them free

But it sure is hard to do

It sure is hard to do

I know they say if it don't come back again

Then it's meant to be (so they say)

Those words don't pull me through

So I'm still in love with you

I spend each day here waiting for a miracle

But it's just you and me goin' through the mill

Climbin' up a hill

This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why

Two lovers in love can't make it

Just what kind of love keeps breakin' a heart

No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry

Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it

All that's happenin' here is a long goodbye

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really

Give our love a chance (just one more chance)

But I know without a doubt

We turned it inside out

And if we walked away

Would it make more sense

But it tears me up inside

Just to think we still could try

How long must we keep running on a carousel

Going 'round and 'round and never gettin' anywhere

On a wing and prayer

This is the long goodbye, somebody tell me why

Two lovers in love can't make it

Just what kind of love keeps breakin' a heart

No matter how hard I try, I always make you cry

Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it

All that's happenin' here is a long goodbye

Long goodbye

(Goodbye)

Oh, oh, oh-oh

Long goodbye

(Goodbye)

(Goodbye)

Oh, it's a long goodbye, it's a long goodbye
