Goodbye Again Lyrics - The Essential John Denver - John Denver

It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise 

there's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes 

the stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone 

and so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come 

CHORUS 

And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you 

Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again 

And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go 

It seems a shame to leave you now, 

the days are soft and warm 

I long to lay me down again, and hold you in my arms 

I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile 

Other voices beckon me, to go a little while

CHORUS 

I have to go and see some friends of mine, 

some that I don't know, 

some who aren't familiar with my name 

It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand 

It's anyone who listens to me sing 

And if you hours are empty now, 

who am I to blame 

You think if I were always here, our love would be the same 

As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone 

And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known 

Photos 

But it's goodbye again, 

and I'm sorry to be leavin' you, goodbye again 

as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again 

And I wish you could tell me, 

why do we always fight when I have to go
