Goodbye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember holding on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there, I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

[Chorus]
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high?
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

[Verse 2]
I only miss you here every now and then
Like a soft breeze blowing up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers, I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

[Chorus]
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
That's one place I'll never go in my life again
Was I off somewhere maybe just too high?
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

[Outro]
I can't remember if we said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
