The Best of Goodbyes
Never say hello, if you can’t say goodbye
Never say you know, if you feel it’s a lie
The autumn is cold

Love can fade away
and the dreams of the night
are nothing but a sigh
And the love that you feel
is nothing but a word
turning in the wind

I could love you forever
but our love’s just a name
We could try for the distance
but it’s only a game
‘cause a bird flying south
is the best of goodbyes
And I long for its call in the night

Wouldn’t you agree
that it’s the time for goodbye
You get to understand
it’s a question of life
The excitement is gone
Baby, it's a fate
that we'll never escape
That bird is gonna fly
and we both say goodbye
Wouldn't you agree?
Wouldn't you agree?

I could love you forever
but our love's just a name
We could try for the distance
but it's only a game
'cause a bird flying south
is the best of goodbyes
And I long for its call in the night.

When I walk out the door
it's not the end of your life.
You know I'll only be saying goodbye
Don't pretend anymore
Gotta let the past be
Like that bird in the night, we are free

I could love you forever
but our love's just a name
We could try for the distance
but it's only a game
'cause a bird flying south
is the best of goodbyes
And I long for its call in the night
Yes I long for its call in the night
