A Long Goodbye by Wendy Irvine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see you in the distance as you walk away
Smaller and smaller with each step
I try to run to catch up
I can’t move, my feet are stuck here on the ground
And there’s hardly any sound

[Verse 2]
I hear your voice from far away
But I don’t know what you’re saying
Fainter and fainter with each step
I wanna cry out but I can’t speak
My voice is weak now from the tears
It’s been so many years

[Chorus]
We’ve been saying goodbye
We’ve been saying goodbye
Such a long goodbye
Such a long goodbye
(Such a long goodbye)
Mmm-hmm
[Verse 3]
Every now and then you turn around to smile and wave at me
And show me you’ll be here with each step
I whisper “I love you” soft and sweet
My voice is weak now from the tears
It’s been so many years

[Chorus]
We’ve been saying goodbye
Oh-oh, we’ve been saying goodbye
Such a long goodbye (Such a long goodbye, goodbye)
Oh-oh

[Bridge]
This is not how I thought this would be
This is not how I thought this would end
I want you here with me
And I know I’ve just got to let go
I know I can’t hold on to you anymore

[Chorus]
‘Cause we’ve been saying goodbye
We’ve been saying goodbye
Ohh
We’ve, we’ve been saying goodbye, oh, oh
We’ve, we’ve been saying goodbye
Such a long goodbye
Such a long goodbye
Such a long goodbye
