[Verse 1]
I saw you all grown
I saw you all fly
I saw you all come and I saw all of you ask why
And now that I know
The whole world will sigh
If you're so gone, why do I see you in her eye?
We all gotta live, and we all gotta die

[Chorus]
But why is it so hard to say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye?
Why is it so hard to say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye?
Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

[Verse 2]
And didn't you know?
I saw you all there
I saw the ash and I wiped it out her hair
We all stood in lines
We all stood and stared
Shakin' hands on the bridge from here to there
We all gotta live, and we all gotta die

[Chorus]
But why is it so hard to say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye?
Why is it so hard to say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye?
Why is it so hard to say goodbye?
