Story Behind The Song

Real life indecision

Song Description

Folk torch song about who's going to say goodbye first

Lyrics

Any Other Way To Say Goodbye

I guess this is goodbye
As I stand at the point of pain
And the tears fall from my eyes
I guess it's just as well
Au'voir
How can I say
Is there ever any way to say goodbye

To vanish, disappear
Fade away to a future dream
And I wouldn't have to hear
The word we both deny
We've almost taken turns
But neither one has learned to say goodbye

Is there ever any other way to say it
Is there ever any other way to say it
Ever any way to say

So long to the part of me
That only you could know
Be kind to the memory
Of when we were in love
Farewell to the harmony
That you and I did sing
For hours on end
All to sing again

I guess this is goodbye
Thick and thin
A thousand promises
How we gave it our best try
No harm done
We'll be OK
Another day gone by
Who'll turn out the light
And say goodbye

Is there ever any other way
Ever any other way to say it
Ever any way to say goodbye

Da da da da..........

Another day gone by
Who'll turn out the light
And say
Goodbye (spoken)

Is there ever any other way
Ever any other way
Ever any way to say goodbye
