You're looking at him from across the room

Wondering just how it all slipped away so soon

You'relooking to find some look in his eyes

That will take you back to yesterday

Don't remember the when or the where or why

All you know is that something has changed inside

And you can't bring it back no matter how you try

You know it's over

You've got to say goodbye



[Chorus:]

It's such a shame when lovers become strangers

It's such a shame when you don't know each other anymore

And all the memories that you share

Are all that's still there

It's such a shame when lovers become strangers



You can't seem to find the right words to say

And it's too late for talking now anyway

There's no one to blame, it's just not the same

And it's never gonna be the same again

So, you're trying to figure out what went wrong

Where does the feeling go when the feeling's gone

And you pray for the strength just to carry on

You've got to let go of someone you've loved so long



[Chorus]



So kiss him goodbye

Try to walk away with you head held high

Think about the good times

Don't cry, don't cry

Though it's tearing you apart inside

It's such a shame

It's such a shame

And you can't bring it back no matter how you try

You know it's over

You've got to say goodbye



[Chorus]
