Goodbye

Tracy Chapman

For you


It's all in a day


One day in a life


It's all in the one word


The one word is goodbye


For me


It's all in what you say


Though you've tried to be kind


It's all in the words


From the lips that once touched mine with a sigh


Goodbye


For you


It's all in your face


The laugh and worry lines


It's all in the one word


You hope will make you young again


Goodbye


It's all in the play


Someone speaks the line


It's all in the one word


That stops and steals the time


Goodbye


Goodbye


Goodbye


For me


It's all in a day


It's the part in life


When it's all in the words


To fate and circumstance resigned


Goodbye
