Let's Say Goodbye Like We Said Hello
Bidding Farewell in a Gentle Way: Love's Bittersweet Journey
Lyrics
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
Initiating a farewell with the same friendliness as the initial greeting.
There's something wrong, your love is gone, I've no reason now to stay
Expressing a realization that the love is no longer present, making staying unnecessary.
We live and love, we meet and part and broken hearts must pay
Reflecting on the cycle of life, love, meeting, and parting, with acknowledgment of the pain of broken hearts.
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
Reiterating the idea of parting amicably as in the beginning.
Your love, sweetheart, I won't forget, you're always on my mind
Affirming the enduring memory of the sweetheart's love and presence in the mind.
You're all the happiness I knew, so thoughtful, sweet and kind
Recalling the joy and kindness experienced in the relationship.
For old time's sake I'm askin' you to think of me some day
Asking, for old time's sake, to be remembered in the future.
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
Repeating the suggestion of parting amicably.
I wish you happiness, sweetheart, in everything you do
Wishing happiness for the sweetheart in all endeavors.
May good luck always come your way, and every dream come true
Extending well wishes for good luck and the fulfillment of dreams.
I'll remember you and the love we knew, the love of yesterday
Pledging to remember the love shared in the past.
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
Reiterating the friendly manner of saying goodbye.
If I should meet some other dear and learn to love them too
Contemplating the possibility of finding new love but hoping it evokes memories of the current sweetheart.
I hope and pray somehow, sweetheart, they'll make me think of you
Expressing a wish that new love reminds of the current relationship.
A tender smile, an old love song, a heart so light and gay
Associating memories with a tender smile, an old love song, and a joyful heart.
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
Repeating the desire for an amicable farewell.
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
Reiterating the idea of saying goodbye in a friendly manner.
There's something wrong, your love is gone, I've no reason now to stay
Restating the absence of love as a reason to part.
We live and love, we meet and part and broken hearts must pay
Reflecting again on the cycle of love, meeting, and parting, acknowledging the pain of broken hearts.
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
Concluding with the repetition of the friendly goodbye.
