Goodbye To Love

  • Recorded by: The Carpenters
  • From the 1972 album, A Song For You
  • Written by: Richard Carpenter and J. Bettis


I'll say goodbye to love.
No one ever cared if I should live or die.
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by.
And all I know of love is how to live without it --
I just can't seem to find it.

So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone.
And though it's not the easy way,
I guess I've always known
I'd say goodbye to love.

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine.
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for,
Something I could live for.

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end.
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend.
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can.

Instrumental Interlude

What lies in the future is a mystery to us all;
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls.
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong,
But for now this is my song...

And it's goodbye to love.
I'll say goodbye to love.
