Goodbye Again - 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

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
