Lyrics It's Hard for Me to Say Goodbye - Luther Vandross

Didn't know 'til today
That you would love for me to say
All of things I feel
Though you don't doubt they're real

Insecure, very shy
Are the only reasons I have why
I never say the things
That you would love to hear

All the words I try
Disappoint me and I cry
'Cause they're words I don't always say

But it's in my love, it's in my feeling
It's in the very same heart
That loved you from the start

It's in the heat, it's in the spirit
And it's got me totally high
It's just hard for me to say, why

Kinda sad, kinda blue
Because I wanted to tell you
That you were in my heart
Though we were far apart

Didn't know how to say
All the little things to make you stay
And not to keep assuming
You could read my mind

You're the one I love
Though it's hard for you to know
'Cause the words I don't always say

But it's in my love, it's in my feeling
It's in the very same heart
That loved you from the start

It's in the heat, it's in the spirit
And it's got me totally high
It's just hard for me to say, why

It's hard for me, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So hard for me
