Goodbye Lyrics by Tracy Chapman

Let It Rain

2002

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
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 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
It's all in the word
To fate and circumstance resigned
Goodbye
