GOODBYE TO LOVE
Lyrics by John Bettis
Music by: Richard Carpenter
1972
I'll say good-by 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 tho 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 mem'ries and I'll find that there is someone
To believe in and to live for, something I could live for,

All the year of useless search have fin'lly reached an end,
And loneliness and empty days will be my only friend.
From this day love is forgotten, I'll go on as best I can.

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.
