Goodbye Again

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
 The night is nearly gone
 You slowly turn away from me
 And tears begin to come
 And it's goodbye again
 I'm sorry to be leaving you
 Goodbye again
 'Cause 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
 And give you back your smile
 But other voices beckon me and for a little while
 It's goodbye again
 I'm sorry to be leaving you
 Goodbye again
 'Cause 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?
 I have to go and see some friends of mine
 And some that I don't know
 And some who aren't familiar with my name
 It's something that's inside of me
 Not hard to understand
 It's anyone who will listen to me sing
 
 But if your arms are empty now
 Then who am I to blame
 You think if I was always here
 Our love would be the same
 But 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
 'Cause 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?
