Goodbye Again Songtext
von John Denver

It′s five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
There′s frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come

And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin′ you
Goodbye again, as if you didn′t know, it's goodbye again
And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go

It seems a shame to leave you now,
The days are soft and warm
I long to lay me down again, and hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile
Other voices beckon me, to go a little while


It′s goodbye again
I'm sorry to be leavin′ you
Goodbye again
As if you didn't know, it′s goodbye again
And I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go

I have to go and see some friends of mine,
Some that I don't know,
Some who aren't familiar with my name
It′s something that′s inside of me, not hard to understand
It's anyone who listens to me sing

And if you hours are empty now,
Who am I to blame
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I′ve ever known

But it's goodbye again,
And I′m sorry to be leavin' you
Goodbye again
As if you didn′t know, it's goodbye again
And I wish you could tell me,
Why do we always fight when I have to go
