Kiss and Say Goodbye
Farewell Embrace: Bittersweet Goodbyes in 'Kiss and Say Goodbye'
Lyrics
This has got to be the saddest day of my life
This marks a very sorrowful day in my life.
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I've called you here to share some unfortunate news.
I won't be able to see you any more
I won't be able to continue our relationship.
Because of my obligations
Due to my responsibilities and commitments.
And the ties that you have
Referring to the emotional bonds you and I share.
We've been meeting here every day
We've been meeting regularly, creating a routine.
And since this is our last date together
As this is our final meeting, acknowledging its significance.
I want to hold you just one more time
Expressing the desire to hold you one last time.
When you turn and walk away
As you depart, asking you not to look back.
Don't look back
Requesting that the final image in memory is a positive one.
I want to remember you just like this
Suggesting a kiss as a way to say goodbye.
Let's just kiss
Proposing a farewell kiss.
And say goodbye
Concluding with a simple goodbye.
I had to meet you here today
Explaining the necessity of this meeting.
There's just so many things to say
Expressing the complexity of emotions and thoughts.
Please don't stop me 'till I'm through
Pleading not to interrupt until everything is said.
This is something I hate to do
Acknowledging the difficulty of the impending action.
We've been meeting here so long
Reflecting on the longevity of the relationship.
I guess what we done was wrong
Admitting that the choices made were not right.
Please, darling, don't you cry
Urging the partner not to cry.
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (goodbye)
Repeating the proposal of a farewell kiss.
Many months have passed us by
Highlighting the time that has passed.
(I'm gonna miss you) I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
Expressing genuine feelings of missing the partner.
(I'm gonna miss you)
Reiterating the sense of loss.
I've got ties and so do you
Acknowledging personal and mutual commitments.
I just think this is the thing to do
Believing that this separation is necessary.
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Admitting that the parting will be painful.
Maybe you'll meet another guy
Suggesting the possibility of finding someone new.
Understand me won't you try, try, try, try, try, try
Encouraging understanding and acceptance.
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Repeating the proposal to kiss and say goodbye.
(I'm gonna miss you) I'm gonna miss you
Reiterating the sentiment of missing the partner.
(I'm gonna miss you) understand me, won't you try
Requesting understanding of the difficult decision.
(I'm gonna miss you) it's gonna hurt me, I won't lie
Acknowledging the forthcoming emotional pain.
(I'm gonna miss you) take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes
Offering comfort with a handkerchief.
(I'm gonna miss you) baby you'll find, you'll find another guy
Suggesting that the partner will find someone new.
(I'm gonna miss you) let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
Repeating the proposal to kiss and say goodbye.
(I'm gonna miss you) please, don't you cry
Urging the partner not to cry once more.
(I'm gonna miss you) understand me, won't you try?
Requesting understanding and acceptance again.
(I'm gonna miss you) let's just kiss and say goodbye
Concluding with the suggestion to kiss and say goodbye.
