Lyrics

Don’t say a word, I know
I know, don’t even have to try
I’ll take my aching heart
And empty arms and say “Goodbye”

Chorus
It’s the end, it’s the end
Goodbye darling, hello friend
Our song is thru, I’ll be seeing you
We had fun, now it’s done
What’s the use of even wond’ring
How or why, let’s just say, “Goodbye”
For one brief moment there
Heaven was close to me
When I thought you could care
But I was dreaming, dreaming
It’s the end, why pretend
Goodbye darling, hello friend
It’s all fini, please hand me my heart
