Goodbye Again Lyrics by John Denver

Rocky Mountain High

1972

[Verse 1]
It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, night is nearly gone
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come

[Chorus]
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Goodbye again, as 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?

[Verse 2]
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, give you back your smile
Other voices beckon me, and for a little while

[Chorus]
It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Goodbye again, as 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?

[Verse 3]
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know
And some who aren't familiar with my name
It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand
It's anyone who listened to me sing

[Bridge]
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame?
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known

[Chorus]
But it's goodbye again and I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Goodbye again, as 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?
