I drive him to the airport, and he promises to call He tells me that in love there are just two ways to fall In and out of Vietnam There were times I saw him falling deep and down She had never seen a snowfall, felt the fresh air on her face So he buys a one-way ticket, flies her to his rented place And he sings her gentle music, brings her roses from the grocery downtown Say hi from Saigon With a sigh, and he is gone Gone to find the sun and try find someone to warm his heart Say hi from Saigon Where the evening meets the dawn Country man and city girl Holding hands but they are still a world apart They have no need for speaking on the sand beneath the sunset She makes him fancy dinners, sews him clothes, and learns his language Then she offers him her soul but keeps her clothes on under blankets in the dark Then she drive him to the airport when the roses lose their redness And returns to washing dishes, serving coffee to the tourists As he starts a new adventure and he doesn't know how deep he leaves a mark Say hi to Saigon With a sigh, and he is gone Gone to find the sun and try to find someone to warm his heart Say hi to Saigon Where the evening meets the dawn Country man and city girl Holding hands but they are still a world apart So I answer when he calls me after they have been together And he wonders if she'll be the one to stay with him forever To love him without judgement, and be faithful, kind, and true But there is more to love than what someone can do for you Goodbye to Saigon She will cry when he is gone Although she hides it well, her family can tell it from her eyes Goodbye to Saigon He is always moving on When the winter's over you ought to know a snowbird's gonna fly When the winter's over you ought to know a snowbird's gonna fly
