Why Do I Always Have to Say Goodbye - Dan Schweitzer by Schweitzer published on 2017-08-03T01:10:08Z Written and performed by Dan Schweitzer Why do we always have to say goodbye? Why does someone always have to go away? Oh, I'd found what I was looking for thought I was home to stay Why do we always have to say goodbye? It seems I've stopped a thousand times for one more try But though I did well on beginnings, the time just came to fly and when I finally stopped looking, there you were inside Why do we always have to say goodbye? For the first time in my life I put my roots down really deep I stopped wondering if you'd be there when I woke and went to sleep Oh I could hold you in my arms and know that this is where I'd be when my world had stopped its turning, but each candle stopped its burning I just thought this time the candle would be me Why do we always have to say goodbye? All these weeks I've tried to find the words I need But where my words are is beyond as the sweet curve of your smile Why do we always have to say goodbye? Why do we always have to say goodbye? Wish I'd had the sense the leave the dance with you Used to be I'd leave the dance floor only when they killed the lights Why do we always have to say goodbye? For the first time in my life I put my roots down really deep I stopped wondering if you'd be there when I woke and went to sleep Oh I could hold you in my arms and know that this is where I'd be when my world had stopped its turning, but each candle stopped its burning I just thought for sure this candle would be me Why do we always have to say goodbye? How can I stay here where we used to talk and play? Where I once held you warm is empty, and it's aching from the cold Why do we always have to say goodbye? Why do we always have to say goodbye? We only have few short moments anyway Why did end so very quickly when I finally got it right? Why do we always have to say goodbye? Why do I always have to say goodbye?
