(richards)   Ever since that first night   When I gave my love to you   Everything seemed so right   You are my sunlight shining through      And I tried so not to let it show   Yet it seems sad because I know      No matter how hard I try   No matter how hard I try   There's always goodbye      You smile softly as you leave my bed   And I tightly hold your hand   You lean down to kiss my head   But there's nothing to be said      And if you said you want to sing   I know you'd soon be on your way      No matter how hard we try   No matter how hard we try   There's always goodbye      So here we stand, you and i   You are too kind and I'm too shy   To say what we really mean      So we make life a masquerade   Never showing all, only the parts we played      Chorus      No matter how hard I try   No matter how hard I try   There's always goodbye   There's always goodbye      (repeat)
