It always hurts to say goodbye Why do we try to hide the pain? In our hearts we know It's so hard to go through it all again We make a very special team We always seem to get it right And the land of ours Never really was Better than tonight How well we know That the time is ending But let's just pretend That we'll meet again and soon Don't try to fight it from within It's not a sin to need to cry When I know you're near I don't mind a tear It always hurts to say goodbye As we turn to go In our eyes we show It always hurts to say goodbye
