Lyrics Paul Brady – The Long Goodbye

I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free (so they say)
But it sure is hard to do
But it sure is hard to do

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can’t make it
Just what kinda love keeps breakin’ a heart
No matter how hard I try, your gonna make me cry
Come on baby, it’s over… let’s face it
All that’s happenin’ here is a long goodbye

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really…
Give our love a chance
(Just the one more chance)
But I know without a doubt, that we turned it inside out
And if we walked away would it make more sense (only self defense)
But it tears me up inside, just to think we still could try
How long must we keep runnin’ on a carousel
Goin’ round and round and never gettin’ anywhere
On a wing and prayer

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can’t make it

Oh, long goodbye
