Now the curtain must fall and I've known it all the time But you want the show to keep going on And it's time for me to keep on playing the clown With a hundred bad dreams going down But you see though my face might show a smile My eyes, they never can lie And I'm hurt that's so easy for you to tell But can't you see it's goodbye I know the time has come to stop all this pretending The time is right for us to say goodbye No need to hide youself away from what you're thinking And goodbye is the saddest word to say ♪ It's funny to think that it somehow all began While drinking some every fine wine There was you and me and my very best friend Just talking and passing some time But just by the way you looked at her And how she looked at you I knew love was taking over And there was nothing I could really do I know the time has come to stop all this pretending The time is right for us to say goodbye No need to hide youself away from what you're thinking And goodbye is the saddest word to say I know the time has come to stop all this pretending The time is right for us to say goodbye No need to hide youself away from what you're thinking And goodbye is the saddest word to say And goodbye is the saddest word to say And goodbye is the saddest word to say
