Lyrics Goodbye Again - Remastered - John Denver

It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, night is nearly gone
So you turn away from me, and tears begin to come

And it's goodbye again
I'm sorry to be leaving you, goodbye again
As if you didn't know, it's goodbye again
And I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?

It seems a shame to leave you now
The days are soft and warm
I long to lay me down again, and hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile
Other voices beckon me and for a little while

It's goodbye again
I'm sorry to be leaving you, goodbye again
As if you didn't know, it's goodbye again
And I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?

Have to go and see some friends of mine
Some that I don't know
Some who aren't familiar with my name
It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand
It's anyone who listens to me sing

And if you hours are empty now, who am I to blame?
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same?
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known

But it's goodbye again
I'm sorry to be leaving you, goodbye again
As if you didn't know, it's goodbye again
I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
