Hard To Say Goodbye, My Love Lyrics by Sheryl Lee Ralph

Dreamgirls: Original Broadway Cast Album

1982

[Intro: ANNOUNCER]
Ladies and gentlemen, in their farewell performance, the incredible Dreams.
[Verse 1: DEENA]
We didn't make forever
We've each got to go our separate way
And now we're standing here helpless
Looking for something to say
[Verse 2: DEENA]
We've been together a long time
We never thought it would end
We were always so close to each other
You were always my friend
[Chorus: THE DREAMS]
And it's hard to say goodbye, my love
Hard to see you cry, my love
Hard to open up that door
When you're not sure what you're going for
[Verse 3: DEENA, LORRELL, MICHELLE, THE DREAMS]
We didn't want this to happen
But we shouldn't feel sad
We had a good life together
Yes, remember
Remember all the times we've had
[Verse 4: DEENA, LORRELL & MICHELLE]
And it's not that I don't love you deeply
You were my family
And it's just that I'm feeling there's so much more
Maybe there's something more
Waiting out there for you and me
[Chorus: THE DREAMS]
But it's hard to say goodbye, my love
Hard to see you cry, my love
Hard to open up that door
When you're not sure what you're going for
[Bridge: DEENA, LORRELL & MICHELLE]
You know I'll always love you
You know I'll always care
And no matter how far I may go
(Far I may go, my heart)
In my heart, you'll always be there (Heart, heart, heart)
It's so hard
[Chorus: DEENA, LORRELL & MICHELLE]
It's hard to say goodbye, my love (Baby, it's so hard)
Hard to see you cry, my love (It's so hard)
Hard to open up that door
When you're not sure what you're going for
(It's so hard)
[Post-Chorus: DEENA, LORRELL & MICHELLE]
Goodbye, my love (Baby, it's so hard)
This time it's forevermore (It's so hard)
I can feel there's something more
(When you're not sure what you're going for)
We've got to grow
We've got to try
Though it's hard, so hard
We have to say goodbye
Though it's hard, so hard
We have to say
[Outro: DEENA, LORRELL & MICHELLE]
We didn't make forever
How could we lose tomorrow?
We didn't make forever
How could we lose tomorrow?
It's so hard
Baby, it's so hard
It's so hard
Baby, it's so hard
I can feel there's more
It's so hard
Baby, it's so hard
It's so hard
Baby, it's so hard
