Goodbye
Unspoken Farewell: Vanessa Williams' Heartfelt Goodbye
Lyrics
Look at your heart ache as you try tell me
Addressing the pain in your heart while attempting to communicate with me
The love we made was not enough for you
Expressing that the love shared was insufficient for you
You're walking away from all that we dreamed of
Walking away from the shared dreams and aspirations
The things you say are leading to...
Indicating that your words are leading to a separation
Goodbye, goodbye
Bidding farewell
You made you mind up but your heart can't say it
Deciding to leave while your heart struggles to vocalize it
Goodbye, goodbye
Reiterating the departure
Say anything but darling don't say goodbye
Pleading to say anything but not goodbye
You wait at the door and turn 'round to see me
Waiting at the door, contemplating whether to stay
The look into your eyes says you really want to stay
Eye contact suggesting a desire to remain
And then we touch, your hands are a whisper
Touching, with hands conveying a message to the heart
They tell my heart that you can't say
Hands indicating an inability to express the farewell verbally
Goodbye, goodbye
Repeating the farewell
You made your mind up but your heart can't say it
Confirming the decision while struggling emotionally
Goodbye, goodbye
Reiterating the emotional challenge of saying goodbye
Say anything but darling don't say goodbye
Pleading for any words except goodbye
Oh baby with or without you
Expressing a commitment to love, whether with or without the person
I'll always love what we both knew
Affirming love for what was known and shared
Goodbye, goodbye
Repeating the farewell, acknowledging the decision
You made your mind up but your heart can't say it
Confirming the struggle between the mind and heart in the decision
Goodbye, goodbye
Reiterating the emotional difficulty of saying goodbye
Say anything but darling don't say goodbye
Pleading for any words except goodbye
Don't say goobye
Emphasizing the plea not to say goodbye
Baby, let's talk about love
Inviting a discussion about love
Let's talk about it now
Urging to talk about love in the present moment
Please baby, don't say
Pleading not to say goodbye
Baby, let's talk about love
Repeating the plea to discuss love
Without your love I can't go on without you
Expressing the difficulty of moving on without love
Baby, don't say
Pleading not to say goodbye
Baby, let's talk about love
Repeating the plea to discuss love
