I remember the day you came into my life
I remember how time stood still
You were my lover my friend my joy
You were my life
I loved you then and I always will

How time has its way with things
And all the changes it brings - baby

If I could only say goodbye
There will always be a part of me for you
If I could find the reason why
If I could only say goodbye

I remember the day you walked out of my life
Thought the sorrow would never end
Then the tears came and all the joy
Was out of my life
Felt the heartbreak would never mend

Seems times like a stormy sea
Look what it's done to you and me - baby

If I could only say goodbye
There will always be a part of me for you
If I could find the reason why
If I could only say goodbye

Did we ever live a lie ?
Could I ever call you my friend ?
Will you always be a part of me ?
How can real love ever end ?

If I could only say goodbye
There will always be a part of me for you
If I could find the reason why
If I could only say goodbye

If I could only say goodbye
I know the love will never die
If I could only say goodbye
