Lyrics

This has got to be the saddest day of my life

This marks the most sorrowful day in my life.

I called you here today for a bit of bad news

I've brought you here to share some unfortunate news.

I won't be able to see you any more

I won't be able to continue seeing you.

Because of my obligations

Due to my responsibilities and commitments.

And the ties that you have

Referring to emotional bonds and relationships you possess.

We've been meeting here every day

We've been meeting at this place consistently.

And since this is our last date together

As this marks our final meeting,

I want to hold you just one more time

I want to embrace you one last time.

When you turn and walk away

When you depart, don't look back; I want this image of you to be my lasting memory.

Don't look back I want to remember you just like this

Suggesting a desire to preserve a positive memory of the parting moment.

Let's just kiss

Suggesting an intimate farewell.

And say goodbye

Summarizing the plea for a farewell kiss.


I had to meet you here today

I had to meet you today to address important matters.

There's just so many things to say

There are many things to express.

Please don't stop me till I'm through

Asking not to be interrupted until thoughts are fully conveyed.

This is something I hate to do

Expressing discomfort with the upcoming action.

We've been meeting here so long

We've been meeting here for an extended period.

I guess what we done was wrong

Admitting a recognition of wrongdoing in their actions.

Please, darling, don't you cry

Pleading for emotional restraint.

Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Reiterating the desire for a farewell kiss.

Many months have passed us by

Highlighting the passage of time since they first met.

I'm gonna miss you I can't lie

Expressing genuine feelings of missing the person.

I've got ties and so do you

Both parties have commitments and obligations.

I just think this is the thing to do

Believing that ending the relationship is the right decision.

It's gonna hurt me I can't lie

Admitting that the separation will be painful.

Maybe you'll meet another guy

Suggesting the possibility of finding a new romantic partner.

Understand me won't you try, try, try

Pleading for understanding from the other person.

Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Reiterating the plea for a farewell kiss.
