I Hate Goodbyes Lyrics by Bobby Bare
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)

Softly close the door behind you
How it hurts me to see you go
Gently break the tie that binds you
And this heart that loves you so.

If you're sure you won't be staying
Then just walk on out of my life
There's just two words left for saying
And the Lord knows how I hate goodbyes.

And nothing's born to live forever
But oh, how it hurts to see it die
First it's always then it's never
And the Lord knows how I hate goodbyes.

--- Instrumental ---

Nothing's born to live forever
But oh, how it hurts to see it die
First it's always then it's never
And the Lord knows how I hate goodbyes...
