How to say goodbye
Oh, how to find a word that says goodbye
When someone is so much a part of you
Like you're a part of me

And lying in my arms
I find that you've been lyin' in my arms
And morning always brings the naked truth
Oh, how I wish that fairy tales were true

And how to find the sunshine in a day
When you so clearly see the light
And then to find the meaning in a night
Without you lying by my side

And lying in my arms
I find that you've been lyin' in my arms
And morning always brings the naked truth
Oh, how I wish that fairy tales were true
