Paul Brady - The Long Goodbye lyrics

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
I know they say if it don't come back again
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
Those words don't pull me
Through cause I'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waitin' for a miracle
But, it's just you and me
Goin' through the mill climbin' up a hill

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 overlet'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
Just what kinda love keeps breakin' a heart
No matter how hard I try
Your gonna make me cry
Come on baby, it's overlet's face it
All that's happenin' here is a long goodbye

Oh, long goodbye
