Goodbye Again Lyrics

Goodbye Again

(John Denver) 

It`s five o`clock this morning and the sun is on the rise 
There`s frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes 
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone 
You slowly turn away from me and tears begin to come 

And it`s 
Goodbye again, I`m sorry to be leaving you 
Goodbye again, `cause if you didn`t know 
It`s goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me 
Why do we always fight when I have to go? 

It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm 
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms 
I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile 
But other voices beckon me and for a little while 

It`s 
Goodbye again, I`m sorry to be leaving you 
Goodbye again, `cause if you didn`t know 
It`s goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me 
Why do we always fight when I have to go? 

I have to go and see some friends of mine, and some that I don`t know 
And some who aren`t familiar with my name 
It`s something that`s inside of me, not hard to understand 
It`s anyone who will listen to me sing 

But if your arms are empty now, then who am I to blame 
You think if I was always here our love would be the same 
But as it is, the time we have is worth the time alone 
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I`ve ever known 

But it`s 
Goodbye again, I`m sorry to be leaving you 
Goodbye again, `cause if you didn`t know 
It`s goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me 
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
