Phil Coulter - The Long Goodbye lyrics

rate me

I know they say if you love somebody<br />

You should set them free (so they say)<br />

But it sure is hard to do<br />

Yeah, it sure is hard to do<br />

And I know they say if they don't come back again<br />

Then it's meant to be (so they say)<br />

But those words ain't pulling me through<br />

Cos I'm still in love with you<br />

I spend each day here waiting for a miracle<br />

But it's just you and me going through the mill<br />

(climbin' up a hill) <br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

This is the long goodbye<br />

Somebody tell me why<br />

Two lovers in love can't make it<br />

Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?<br />

No matter how hard I try<br />

You're gonna make me cry<br />

Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it<br />

All that's happening here is a long goodbye<br />

<br />

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really<br />

Give our love a chance (just one more chance)<br />

And I know without a doubt<br />

I turned it inside out<br />

And if we walked away<br />

Would make more sense (only self defense)<br />

But it tears me up inside<br />

Just to think we still could try<br />

How long must we keep riding on a carousel<br />

Going round and round and never getting anywhere?<br />

(on a wing and prayer)<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

This is the long goodbye<br />

Somebody tell me why<br />

Two lovers in love can't make it<br />

Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?<br />

No matter how hard I try<br />

You're gonna make me cry<br />

Come on, baby, it's over, Let's face it<br />

All that's happening here is the long goodbye<br />

<br />

[Chorus x2]<br />

<br />

The long goodbye<br />

The long goodbye<br />

This is the long goodbye<br />

<br />

Someone please tell me why<br />

<br />

Are you ever coming back again<br />

Are you ever coming back again<br />

Are you ever coming back again<br />

Guess I'm never coming back again</
