Long Goodbye

                                  I know they say if you love somebody

You should set them free (so they say)

But it sure is hard to do, 

But 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 cause I'm still in love with you

I spend each day here waitin' for a miracle

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

Climbin' up a hill



[Chorus:]

This is the long goodbye

Somebody tell me why,

Two lovers in love can't make it,

Just what kinda love keeps breakin' a heart

No matter how hard I try, Your gonna make me 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 the one more chance)

But I know without a doubt, that we turned it inside out

And if we walked away would it make more sense (only self defense)

But it tears me up inside, just to think we still could try

How long must we keep runnin' on a carousel

Goin' round and round and never gettin' anywhere

On a wing and prayer



[Chorus:]

Oh, long goodbye
