tried to give him hope
And promised him my life
But I don't know what made him want to leave this life
And as he went away
A tear fell from my eye
And there'no turning back…there's only goodbye
I love my baby so
But he's not here no more
Hard for me to understand
So I wrote him this song
When I looked him in his eyes
Knew I couldn't change his mind
So I wrote him this melody
I'm singing sweet goodbye
