The Long Goodbye lyrics

I know they say if you love somebody

You should set them free

But it sure is hard to do

It sure is hard to do

And I know they say if they don't come back again

Then it's meant to be

Those words ain't pulling me through

Cos I'm still I love with you

I spend each day here waiting for a miracle

But it's just you and me going through the mill

Climbing up a hill

This is the long goodbye

Somebody tell me why

Two lovers in love can't make it

Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts

No matter how hard we try

You're gonna make me cry

Come on baby it's over let's face it

All that's happening here is a long goodbye

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really

Give our love a chance

And I know without a doubt

That we turned it inside out

And if we walked away it would make more sense

But it tears me up inside

Just to think we still could try

How long must we keep running on this carousel

Going round and round and never getting anywhere

On a wing and prayer

This is the long goodbye

Somebody tell me why

Two lovers in love can't make it

Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts

No matter how hard we try

You're gonna make me cry

Come on baby it's over let's face it

All that's happening here is a long goodbye

This is the long goodbye

Somebody tell me why

Two lovers in love can't make it

Just what kind of love keeps breaking our hearts

No matter how hard we try

You're gonna make me cry

Come on baby it's over let's face it

All that's happening here is a long goodbye

The long goodbye

The long goodbye

This is the long goodbye
