Softly close
The door behind you
How it hurts me
To see you go
Gently break
The tie that binds you
And this heart
That loves you so
If you're sure
You won't be staying
Then just walk on
Out of my life
There's just two words
Left for saying
And the Lord knows
How I hate goodbyes
And nothing's born
To live forever
But oh, how it hurts
To see it die
First it's always
Then it's never
And the Lord knows
How I hate goodbyes
Nothing's born
To live forever
But oh, how it hurts
To see it die
First it's always
Then it's never
And the Lord knows
How I hate goodbyes
