Lyrics

[00:28.540] I know they say if you love somebody
[00:32.910] You should set them free (so they say)
[00:36.420] But it sure is hard to do
[00:39.970] Yeah, it sure is hard to do
[00:42.350] And I know they say if they don't come back again
[00:46.730] Then it's meant to be ( so they say)
[00:50.360] But those words ain't pulling me through
[00:53.610] Cos I'm still in love with you
[00:56.110] I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
[00:59.480] But it's just you and me going through the mill
[01:07.350] (climbin' up a hill)
[01:09.850] This is the long goodbye
[01:13.670] Somebody tell me why
[01:16.790] Two lovers in love can't make it
[01:20.040] Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
[01:23.670] No matter how hard I try
[01:26.420] You're gonna make me cry
[01:30.610] Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
[01:34.040] All that's happening here is a long goodbye
[01:52.310] Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
[01:56.870] Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
[02:00.620] and I know without a doubt
[02:03.740] I turned it inside out
[02:06.300] And if we walked away
[02:08.620] would make more sense (only self defense)
[02:14.250] But it tears me up inside
[02:17.560] Just to think we still could try
[02:20.120] How long must we keep riding on a carousel
[02:25.550] Going round and round and never getting anywhere?
[02:31.300] (on a wing and prayer)
[02:33.870] This is the long goodbye
[02:37.620] Somebody tell me why
[02:40.680] Two lovers in love can't make it
[02:44.060] Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
[02:47.680] No matter how hard I try
[02:52.440] You're gonna make me cry
[02:54.800] Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
[02:58.630] All that's happening here is a long goodbye
[03:16.140] This is the long goodbye
[03:19.820] Somebody tell me why
[03:23.130] Two lovers in love can't make it
[03:26.510] Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
[03:29.950] No matter how hard I try
[03:33.760] You're gonna make me cry
[03:36.830] Come on, baby, it's over, let's face it
[03:40.260] All that's happening here is a long goodbye
[03:53.380] I can never come back again
[04:01.330] I can never come back again
[04:08.070] I can never come back again
