[Verse 1]
Mary-Ann is working at the local grocery
Her husband John is traveling, and he’s been gone for weeks
But Mary-Ann starts coughin’ and she falls down to her knees
She calls John, says, “Listen, please”

[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye my love
So long we have to part
I wish I didn’t have to leave
Then you would never have to grieve, so
Goodbye, goodbye my heart

[Verse 2]
Kevin and Fernando, they haven’t got a fear
They’ve been living in an old folk’s home together all these years
But now they force the laughter, as they push it through their tears
They hold hands and disappear

[Chorus]
Singing goodbye, goodbye my love
So long we have to part
I wish I didn’t have to leave
Then you would never have to grieve, so
Goodbye, goodbye my heart
[Verse 3]
Now, I’ve been waitin’ for ya, since the sun began to rise
And I keep holding on to life just hoping you’ll arrive
‘Cause I’d give up on breathing just to look into your eyes
But now it’s time to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Singing goodbye, goodbye my love
So long we have to part
I wish I didn’t have to leave
Then you would never have to grieve, so
Goodbye, goodbye my heart
