To Say Goodbye to You
Whistling Northern Lights: Bidding Farewell Under Starry Skies
Lyrics
Wish I could whistle down the Northern Lights
Expressing a desire to have the ability to summon the Northern Lights through whistling.
And send them dancing all across the night
Wanting to make the Northern Lights move and dance throughout the night sky.
Maybe then when all the sky was blazing
Suggesting that if the sky was ablaze with the Northern Lights, the speaker might feel the presence of the person they're saying goodbye to.
Maybe then I'd feel you somewhere
Expressing hope to feel a connection with the person being said goodbye to.
Gazing at a star,
Imagining the person looking at a star, possibly mirroring the speaker's actions.
And you could feel me too
Expressing a desire for mutual connection and understanding between the speaker and the person being said goodbye to.
As I say goodbye to you
Describing the act of bidding farewell to the person.
It breaks my heart in two, to say goodbye to you
Expressing deep emotional pain in parting ways with the person.
Wish time could turn us back to yesterday
Expressing a wish for the ability to turn back time to a previous moment.
The gods above would look the other way
Imagining a scenario where divine forces would allow the past to be changed.
Maybe then we still could laugh together
Hoping for the chance to share laughter with the person once again.
Maybe then it could be spring forever and a day
Expressing a desire for an everlasting joyful period, symbolized by spring.
But I must face the truth and say goodbye to you
Accepting the truth of the situation and acknowledging the necessity of saying goodbye.
It breaks my heart in two, to say goodbye to you
Reiterating the emotional pain caused by the farewell.
Wish I could whistle down the Northern Lights
Repeating the desire to summon the Northern Lights through whistling.
And send them dancing all across the night
Reiterating the desire for the Northern Lights to dance across the night sky.
Maybe then in my memories for saving
Suggesting the preservation of memories, possibly indicating holding onto a final memory of the person.
One last time you're on the hill waving from afar
Imagining a final moment of seeing the person from a distance and waving goodbye.
One last glance or two and I'll say goodbye to you
Describing the impending act of saying goodbye after the final glance or two.
It breaks my heart in two, to say goodbye to you
Reiterating the emotional pain caused by the act of bidding farewell.
