how many times can we say goodbye

Singer:dionne warwick

here we are so close to the end now

still holdin' on

we try and pretend now

clinging to love we both know is dying

we've tried and tried to find us a way out

but darling

our dreams have now all been played out

still we go on hopelessly trying

but how many times can we say goodbye

and how many times can we see love die

and how many times can we give it one more try

before we really say goodbye

mmm

goodbye

we're so in love

but wrong for each other

each hurt that heals brings on another

both of us used and both of us using

darling

it's time that we stop pretending

there's just no way to rewrite our ending

we're caught in this game and we both know we're losing

oh

but how many times can we say goodbye

hey

how many times can we feel love die

tell me how many times can we give it one more try

before we really say goodbye

yeah.oh.ho. how many times can we break up and make up

both of our hearts refusing to wake up

just can't go on and on living a lie

though i'll always love you

how many times can we say goodbye

oh.and how many times can we live this lie

hey

how many times can we give it one more try

how any times before we really say goodbye

bye-bye bye-bye

bye-b-b-bye-bye-bye

ey

hey

goodbye
