  • Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
    I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
    You know I never got by, "I feel it too"
    And I guess I never could stand to lose
    It's such a pity to say

    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you

    Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
    I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
    These last few weeks of holdin' on
    The days are dull, the nights are long
    Guess it's better to say

    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you

    'Cause baby it's over now
    No need to talk about it
    It's not the same
    My love for you's just not the same
    And my heart, and my heart
    And my heart can't stand the strain
    And my love, and my love
    And my love won't stand the pain
    And my heart, and my heart
    And my heart can't stand the strain
    And my love, and my love
    And my love

    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you

    Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
    Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
    These last few weeks of holdin' on
    The days are dull, the nights are long
    Guess it's better to say

    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you
    Goodbye to you

    Goodbye baby
    So long, darlin'
    Goodbye to you Writer/s: ZACHARY HOLT SMITH
