Trying to Say Goodbye Songtext

von Neil Sedaka

Many's the time I've been moved or inclined
To write maybe a song about love.
Takin' the words as they come to my mind
And I send them along with my love.
Just me and a melody
Sailing peacefully along,
All was right with the world and me
Until love went wrong.

Just yesterday I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could, but I can't, so I won't even try.
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye.

Casually dressed, I'm surviving I guess
I guess only the time will tell.
It don't really matter much where I go next
Just as long as it turns out well.
Slow feet on a movin' street
And the folks I meet all know,
I ain't half as happy
As I was a week ago.

Just yesterday I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could, but I can't, so I won't even try.
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye, oh yeah,
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye, allright,
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye.
