Long Long Way To Go
You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside
Without love, what is life? And anyone who knew us
both can see We always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free And all this pain, when does it go away?
Then everytime I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know
I gotta long long way to go Before I can say
goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew, to you To you
From memory there is no hiding place Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care
Then everytime I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know
I gotta long long way to go Before I can say
goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew
To you I wish you everything And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes Oh, and even though I fell the pain
I know that you will love again The time will come and you'll move on
I gotta long long way to go Before I can say
goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Gotta long way to go Before I can say goodbye
Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew
To all I ever knew I gotta long way to go
Before I say Say goodbye, say goodbye
But I wish you the best girl Oh and all of the rest to you

Postcards Home
Eyes open as the light streams through the curtain
Only half closed and the kink in my neck
And sleeping in my clothes again
Reminds me that Im not home
Gotta go because were leaving on a fifteen hour drive
But Ill call you sometime soon to let you know that Im alright
Do you know what the world can bring
I wish you were here with me
To see the things that words cannot describe
Sincerely me so long goodbye
Its three am and were driving through the desert
And the moons bright so bright in fact
That I can almost write you without turning on the map light
But I gotta let you go now because its my turn to drive
But Ill have so much to tell you at home when we arrive
Do you know what the world can bring
I wish you were here with me
To see the things that words cannot describe
Sincerely me so long goodbye so long goodbye
Do you know what the world can bring
I wish you were here with me
To see the things that words cannot describe
Sincerely me so long goodbye

You Gotta Go
I never know why
Why we can't see eye to eye
And like a fool I believed
We would find a way to survive
I wish we could be more than just a memory
Cuz we loved, we laughed, we cried
And there's no good in goodbye
You tell me you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait
But baby I gotta go
Then you gotta go
If you must go, you ought to know
I will get along, I will live without you
And if you should leave I hope you see
I won't be around baby if you should leave
You're gonna need me
You might think that leaving is easy
I had no right to lead you on
I should have told you the moment the feeling was gone
What I'm trying to say is that I need some space
I need to be sure
No, you'll never find another love like me
All around this world
Still you tell me
You tell me you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait
But baby I gotta go
Then you gotta go
You said you'll always be mine
I need to be on my own
I gotta be on my own
Not gonna beg you to stay
But you'll be back boy I know
Baby I gotta go
Then you gotta go
Then you gotta go

Goodbye To A River
(don henley/stan lynch/jai winding/frank simes)
The rains have come early, they say
Were all gonna wash away
Well, thats all right with me
If heavens torrent can wash clean
The arrogance that lies unseen
In the damage done since we have gone
Where we ought not to be
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Lakes and levees, dams and locks
They put that river in a box
It was running wild
And men must have control
We live our lives in starts and fits
We lose our wonder bit by bit
We condescend and in the end
We lose our very souls
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
The dirty water washes down
Poisoning the common ground
Taking sins of farm and town
And bearing them away
The captains of industry
And their tools on the hill
Theyre killing everything divine
What will I tell this child of mine
(solo)
I make a church out of words
As the years dull my senses
And I try to hold on to the world that I knew
I struggle to cross generational fences
And the beauty that still remains
I can touch it through you
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Roll on

Say Goodbye
Who is she?
This beautiful creature
Insisting on being alone?
It would all make sense
If you could hear her on the phone:
Hello,who's there?
Oh no
How'd you find me
I gotta go
Don't wanna hear
Another lie
You tell me that you love me
And you promise that you'll change
You broke my heart
This time we're through
Now say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
It's too late to give it one more try
You'll always have my heart
I guess you knew it from the start
But if you love me
Say goodbye
I take you back
And then
You go and hurt me
I've had enough
I'm such a fool
I don't know why
I've got to start my life again
It's over can't you see
This time it's done
It's really done
Please say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
It's too late to give it one more try
You'll always have my heart
I guess you knew it from the start
But if you love me
Say goodbye
And the nights are gonna get easier
That's what they say
See, sometimes I don't even think about you
I don't even dream about you
Sometimes I don't even miss you
Night and day
Say goodbye
Please say goodbye
Baby it's too late to give it one more try
You'll always have my heart
I guess you knew it from the start
But if you love me
Say goodbye
If you love me
If you love me
Say goodbye

You've Gotta Gotta Go
You must know why,
I like our nights of leisure.
The moment you sigh...
I turn the lights,
Down low!
Then you say to me,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I've come to be with you?
Then you say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I want to stay.
I've come such a long way!
You must know why,
My time with you is treasured.
I want you in my life.
For more than just what is pleasured.
But then you say no...
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?
Please don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's try to forget,
All regrets we once kept.
Don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's start out fresh,
And build on love that's left.
Don't you know,
I've learned a few lessons too!
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?

Been Away Too Long
Im coming home
Ive been away far too long
Im leaving it up to you
To understand
You may wonder why
When it was me who said
The last goodbye
But cannot change my mind
One more time
Its high time
I cant wait any longer
Its my time to find out
Who I belong to
Its breaking my heart
Waitin for another day
When the time comes
You wont see me around
Ive been patient
Standing my ground
Gotta see ya and hold ya
Hear what you have to say
Do you wake up in the morning
Wantin me
The way I wake up wantin you
And in the same breath
You keep hauntin me
Does it ever occur to you
Ive been in love too long
To stop now, oh
Ive been away too long
Ive been away too long
If youve ever cried
Then youll know the pain
You felt inside
And just like me you pray
Its all untrue
But time alone will tell
If you have learned
Lifes lessons well
And maybe then youll know
What I should do
Been away, Ive been away
Ive been away too long
Ive been away too long
Ive been away too long
Too long, much too long
Much too long

Got To Be Free
(malik pendelton/nicole johnson)
Ive got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Long goodbyes, stolen glances
Cant explain all thats happened in our past
Im tired of creating lies to be alone
Im living wrong, were living wrong
More and more you make me
Afraid to come around
You take the pleasure out of being in love
And being down and down and down and down and down
For the one whos there for me
All I really want to be is free, yeah
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
You dont know why, havent got a clue
In the dark about why I am leaving you
You cant expect me to go on this way
No, I cannot stay, I will not stay
More and more you make me
Realize what I have home
Whats taboos exciting
But sometimes it just gets old
Sometimes it just gets old
For as long as I am me, boy
All I really want to be is free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free

Won't Be Lonely Long
Enough to get past the past in front of me
I'll have to pass some memories
I'll be alright, get by just fine
Say goodbye and
Bring on he's long gone, done me wrong
Tears I'm gonna cry
When you say goodbye, baby I won't be lonely long
I won't be lonely long
Go on and go on with your life
Just don't waste one more minute of mine
Save your precious breath, the one that took mine away
Once upon a time you had me
Hangin' on every word, believin' everything I heard
You're leaving sooner or later
Baby why keep me waitin'?
Bring on he's long gone, done me wrong
Tears I'm gonna cry
When you say goodbye, baby I won't be lonely long
I won't be lonely long
I'd be lying sayin' I ain't afraid
But fear of leavin' ain't no reason to stay
Ah, hey
So baby bring on he's long gone, done me wrong
Tears I'm gonna cry
When you say goodbye, baby I, when you say goodbye, baby I won't be lonely long
I won't be lonely long
Yeah, won't be lonely long

Never Gone
I really miss you
There's something that I gotta say
The things we did, the things we said
Keep coming back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you
Though the distance that's between us
Now may seem to be too far
It will never seperate us
Deep inside I know you are
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've gotta say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life (yeah)
Never gone
No no no
I walk alone these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the grace you've shown
Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone
(Somehow)
Somehow you found a way
To see the best I have in me
As long as time goes on
I swear to you that you will be
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close (always close)
Everyday (everyday)
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've gotta say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life (in my life yeah)
Never gone from me
If there's one thing I believe (I believe)
I will see you somewhere down the road again
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close (always close)
Everyday (everyday)
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've gotta say goodbye (yeah yeah)
I know you will be forever in my life (in my life)
Never gone, never far
In my heart (in my heart is where) is where you are (you are)
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are

Miss Blue
Could you stay long enough for me to say goodbye
You can be free as long as you're with me
If you could see the real me you'd bleed
If you could see the real me I'd breathe
Could you still Breathe long enough for me
Could you still be long enough for me
[Chorus:]
When do you think I'll be okay
When do you think I'll be okay
If I should stay when do I pray
If I should stay where do I begin
Do you think I should watch you die
Should we close our eyes and say goodbye

Hey you Miss Blue
You think that I'm well to do
Hey you Miss Blue
I feel in love with you
Hey you Miss Blue

Hey you Miss Blue

Goodbye Baby
Goodbye baby, so long girl.
I know you ain't gonna like it,
But i'm stepping right out in your world
For i'm coming to your party
And i won't be able to stay,
But i'm gonna kiss you one more time, lord,
Then i'm going away.
Goodbye baby hmm, baby goodbye hmm.
You may be lonely, yeah, you may be hurt,
Like a fool i gave you candy,
You turned around and treated me like dirt.
But still i'm gonna come to your party
And just before the break of day
I'm gonna touch you one more time, lord,
Then i'm going away.
Sing it to me again
Goodbye baby hmm ha, baby goodbye.
Look out, what you see ?
I see a train a-coming,
A train a-coming down the long lonesome track.
I'll tell you, girl, i gotta go on home now,
But deep down in your heart
You know that someday i'm, i'm coming back
And i'm gonna look for you at your party,
'cause all the time i know that i'll find you there
And listen, i'm gonna dance with you
One more time, oh yeah.
Sing it to me tonight now
Goodbye baby, sing it sweet baby goodbye.
Lord, you're singing so sweet tonight goodbye baby
Goodbye baby baby baby baby goodbye
I'll see you around sometime, lord goodbye baby...

A Long Time Gone
Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still youre not there
Youre a long time gone
Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away til its all obsolete
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will
Youre a long time gone
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Youre a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
Youre a long time gone

So stay with me

In just a little while
For every tear weve cried
We will wear a smile
Dont say goodbye

If we only try
Dont worry bout a thing
You gotta believe me
This love was meant to be
Dont ever say goodbye

Theres No Goodbye
Made up my mind to say goodbye,
Went to the park for the last time.
But when I saw your eyes,
I knew for the first time,
That theres no goodbye between us.
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye between us.
If one day we slip away,
And that may be in the cards,
We will know deep in our hearts
That theres no goodbye between us.
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye between us.
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye,
Theres no goodbye between us.

Learn To Say Goodbye
(hugo montenegro / bradford craig)
When I close my eyes I can see your face
Tho I try I cant believe that you are gone
Theres a part of you thats a part of me
And no matter where I go it comes along
Reminding me of all the good times
And, of course, some of the bad
But then again, some of those hard times
Were the best we ever had
How can I learn to say goodbye
To the only life I ever knew?
Learn to say goodbye to you?
How can I learn to say goodbye?
Tell me - how do you expect me to
Say goodbye to you?
When I needed you, you were always there
You were more than love to me, you were a friend
They say that time is all that matters
And to live it while it lasts
But I cant stop from reminiscing
Or stop living in the past
How can I learn to say goodbye
To the only life I ever knew?
Learn to say goodbye to you?
How can I learn to say goodbye?
Tell me - how do you expect me to
Say goodbye to you?
How can I learn to say goodbye
To the only life I ever knew?
Say goodbye to you?
How can I learn to say goodbye?
Tell me - how do you expect me to
Say goodbye to you?

Goodbye Again
Its five oclock this morning, and the sun is on the rise
Theres frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come
And its goodbye again, Im sorry to be leavin you
Goodbye again, as if you didnt know
Its 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, to hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile
Other voices beckon me, to go a little while
And its goodbye again, Im sorry to be leavin you
Goodbye again, as if you didnt know
Its 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 dont know
Some who arent familiar with my name,
Its something thats inside of me not hard to understand
Its anyone who listens to me sing
And if your 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 Ive ever known
But its goodbye again, Im sorry to be leavin you
Goodbye again, as if you didnt know
Its goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go

The Long Goodbye
My soul went walkin but I stayed here
Feel like I been workin for a thousand years
Chippin away at this chain of my own lies
Climbin a wall a hundred thousand miles high
Well I woke up this morning on the other side
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
Same old faces its the same old town
What once was laughs is draggin me now
Wailin on rain hangin on for love
Words of forgiveness from some God above
Aint no words of mercy comin from on high
Oh no just a long goodbye
Yeah yeah just one long goodbye
Well I went to leave twenty years ago
Since then I guess I been packin kinda slow
Sure did like that admirin touch
Guess I liked it a little too much
The moon is high and here I am
Sittin here with this hammer in hand
One more drink oughta ease the pain
Starin at that last link in the chain
Well lets raise our glass and let this hammer fly
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye

What If I Say Goodbye
What if I say I love you
Would it mean as much as it used to
Could it help the hurt that were putting us through
What if I said goodbye
What if tomorrow you wake up
And Im not around what you break up
Would you take one towards me to make up
What if I said goodbye
What would you do if I did what I should have done long ago
Is there someone youd turn to as soon as I left
Someone you already know
What if I say I love you
Would you want to make up like I do
Could we possibly salvage the dreams we knew
What if I said goodbye
What would you do if I did what I should have done long ago
Is there someone youd turn to as soon as I left
Someone you already know
What if I say I love you
Would it mean as much as used to
