This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won’t be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations and the ties that you have
We’ve been meeting here every day
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away don’t look back
I want to remember you just like this
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye

I had to meet you here today
There’s just so many things to say
Please don’t stop me till I’m through
This is something I hate to do

We’ve been meeting here so long
I guess what begun, oh, is wrong
Please, darling, don’t you cry
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)

Many months have passed us by (I’m gonna miss you)
I’m gonna miss you, I can’t lie (I’m gonna miss you)
I’ve got ties and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do

It’s gonna hurt me, I can’t lie
Maybe you’ll meet, you’ll meet another guy
Understand me, won’t you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let’s just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)

Mmm…mmm…mmm… (I’m gonna miss you)

I’m gonna miss you, I can’t lie (I’m gonna miss you)
Understand me, won’t you try (I’m gonna miss you)
It’s gonna hurt me, I can’t lie (I’m gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes (I’m gonna miss you)

Maybe you will find, you’ll find another guy (I’m gonna miss you)
Let’s kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby (I’m gonna miss you)
Please, don’t you cry (I’m gonna miss you)
Understand me, won’t you try (I’m gonna miss you)

Let’s just kiss and say goodbye (Bye)
