Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Baby, though I'm leaving, don't you cry

I'm the one that's grieving, you know why

Love is like a wild bird you can't tie

Free to stay forever or to fly

Though my heart will always stay

Gotta make my getaway

[Refrain]

Got to say goodbye

Got to say goodbye

[Chorus]

Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes

That's the only trouble with goodbyes

Sweet tears just keep falling from your eyes

That's the only trouble with goodbyes

[PostChorus]

Broken dreams and promises

That's the way love always is

[Outro]

Please, please, please don't ask me why

Please don't ask me why
