Gentle Giant
It’s Only Goodbye
[Verse 1]
Strange though we made it, in those days that were bare
What pulled us through them, something was there
I can remember, drifting apart, thoughtless ways much stronger
As the time grew longer, one for one not always
Then you said to me

[Chorus]
It's only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when
I think of you now, in kindness allow, my memory lingers, then
It's only goodbye, my strength telling lies
Just facing what had to be

[Verse 2]
Mixed my reflections, did we think it was real
Was it forever, fear not, just feel
You had your troubles, yes I had mine
Weren't we both for sharing, no not really caring
I would realize that, when you said to me

[Chorus]
It's only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when
I think of you now, in kindness allow, my memory lingers, then
It's only goodbye, a smile and a cry, and suddenly over, when
I think of you now, in kindness allow, my memory lingers, then
[Outro]
It's only goodbye, it's only goodbye
