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
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
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
