Goodbye Again lyrics by John Denver

It's five o'~clock this morning,
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
You slowly turn away from me
and tears begin to come

And it's
Goodbye again,
I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again,
'cause 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
and give you back your smile
But other voices beckon me
and for a little while

And it's Goodbye again,
I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again,
'cause 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?

I have to go and see some friends of mine,
and some that I don't know
And some who aren't familiar with my name
It's something that's inside of me
It's not hard to understand
Anyone who will listen to me sing

If your arms are empty now,
then who am I to blame
You think if I was always here
our love would be the same
But as it is, the time we have
is worth the time alone
Lying by your side,
the greatest peace I've known

Goodbye again,
I'm sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again,
'cause 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?
