Take a ride, take a ride with me tonight my love
Hold me tight, tell me everything's all right my love

Oh, I feel it, any day you will be gone
There's nothing I can do or say to change your mind

This is the year, The Year of Goodbye
This is the year, I can feel the time just rushing by us
This is the year, it feels like The Year of Goodbye

Gave you everything, told you nothing but the truth my love
Didn't mind the cost, you gave back much more than I lost to youth

Oh, I hear you've got some friends down south but
Oh, I'll never understand why you just couldn't tell me yourself

This is the year, The Year of Goodbye
This is the year, don't you feel the time just rushing by us
This is the year, it feels like The Year of Goodbye

For every Hello there's a Goodbye 
And I guess we've got to
So many people living a lie
And I'm trying so hard not to

This is the year, The Year of Goodbye
This is the year, I can feel the time just rushing by us
This is the year, it feels like The Year of Goodbye

This is the year, The Year of Goodbye
This is the year, don't you feel the time just rushing by us
This is the year, it feels like The Year of Goodbye
