GOODBYE ISN'T REALLY GOOD AT ALL
(Donald R Williams)
Don Williams
recorded 1974
It seems you've gone without leavin',
All the doors are closed at night.
Though I've tried to think of leavin',
Goodbye isn't really good at all!
If there were really somethin' good to it,
And I knew it wouldn't get me down,
I could leave in the mornin',
But goodbye isn't really good at all!
Here we are, alone together,
That's the truth and that's the lie!
Though I've tried, I can't get over
Goodbye isn't really good at all!
If goodbye were like it sometimes seems,
If it could be like it's been in some of my dreams,
I could leave in the mornin',
But goodbye isn't really good at all!
