Goodbye To Love

I'll say goodbye to love

No one ever cared if I should live or die

Time and time again the chance for love

has passed me by

And all I know of love

is how to live without it

I just can't seem to find it.

So I've made my mind up I must live

my life alon

e

And though it's not the easy way

I guess I've always known

I'd say goodbye to love.

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine

Surely time will lose these bitter memories

And I'll find that there is someone to believe in

And to live for something I could live for.

All the years of useless search

Have finally reached an end

Loneliness and empty days will be my

only friend

>From this day love is forgotten

I'll go on as best I can.

What lies in the future

is a mystery to us all

No one can predict the wheel of fortune

as it falls

There may come a time when I will see that

I've been wrong

But for now this is my song.

And it's goodbye to love

I'll say goodbye to love.

( 1972 )
