We're Always Saying Goodbye
Eternal Goodbyes: Diana Ross Unveils Life's Bittersweet Dance
Lyrics
Stranger before
Initial connection with someone unknown
Lovers and then
Transition from strangers to lovers
People become
Established relationships
Strangers again
Returning to a state of being strangers
All things born
Life's inevitability of death
Knowing they'll die
A philosophical reflection on mortality
We're always saying goodbye
Repetition of goodbyes in life
Children make friends
Childhood friendships
Holding them near
Closeness of children and friends
People change times
Changing circumstances causing the disappearance of friends
Friends disappear
Loss of friendships over time
Life must go on
Life's continuity despite challenges
Children must cry
The inevitability of children experiencing sadness
We're always sayimg goodbye
Reiteration of the constant presence of goodbyes
Rivers go on and on
Nature's persistence
The sun always shines
The enduring nature of positive elements
The people just run out of time
People running out of time, possibly referring to mortality
Why are we here
Existential questioning about life's purpose
Where do we go
Unknown destination after life
Just when we've learn the little we know
Reflection on the limited knowledge gained in life
Life , love and dreams
Reference to fundamental aspects of life
End with the sigh
Conclusion of life, love, and dreams with a sigh
We're always saying goodbye
Repetition of the theme of constant goodbyes
Rivers go on and on
Continuation of the metaphor of rivers
The sun always shines
The enduring nature of positivity and light
Why do people just run out of time
Questioning the inevitability of running out of time
Why are we here
Reiteration of existential questioning
Where do we go
Uncertainty about the afterlife destination
Just when we've learn the little we know
Reflection on the limited learning in life
Life , love and dreams
Reference to essential aspects of human experience
End with the sigh
Ending life, love, and dreams with a sigh
Somebody somewhere knows why
Belief that someone knows the purpose behind goodbyes
We're always saying goodbye
Final statement on the perpetual occurrence of goodbyes
