[Verse 1]
You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside
Without love, what is life?
And anyone who knew us
Both can see we always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free and all this pain
When does it go away?
[Chorus]
Then every-time I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found I know
I got a long long way to go before I can say
Goodbye to you oh, I got a long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew, to you to you
[Verse 2]
From memory there is no hiding place
Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care
[Chorus]
Then every-time I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found I know
I got a long long way to go before I can say
Goodbye to you oh, I got a long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew, to you to you
[Bridge]
To you I wish you everything
And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes, oh
And even though I fell the pain
I know that you will love again
The time will come and you'll move on
[Outro]
I got a long long way to go before I can say
Goodbye to you oh, I got a long long way I know
Got a long way to go before I can say goodbye
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
To all I ever knew I got a long way to go
Before I say say goodbye, say goodbye
But I wish you the best girl oh and all of the rest to you
You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside
Without love, what is life?
And anyone who knew us
Both can see we always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free and all this pain
When does it go away?
[Chorus]
Then every-time I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found I know
I got a long long way to go before I can say
Goodbye to you oh, I got a long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew, to you to you
[Verse 2]
From memory there is no hiding place
Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care
[Chorus]
Then every-time I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found I know
I got a long long way to go before I can say
Goodbye to you oh, I got a long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew, to you to you
[Bridge]
To you I wish you everything
And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes, oh
And even though I fell the pain
I know that you will love again
The time will come and you'll move on
[Outro]
I got a long long way to go before I can say
Goodbye to you oh, I got a long long way I know
Got a long way to go before I can say goodbye
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
To all I ever knew I got a long way to go
Before I say say goodbye, say goodbye
But I wish you the best girl oh and all of the rest to you
