John Denver — Kissing You Goodbye

Oh, at first it was like heaven in your heart and in your arms And paradise discovered in the sweetness of your charms Yes, and every day a miracle to awake and be with you And every night in your embrace another dream come true But castles sometimes crumble some rivers still run dry And fairy tales are witches tales when the truth becomes a lie And a pocket full of promises won't buy a diamond ring And every word you said to me just didn't mean a thing It's over now, you've gone too far, I can't take anymore Be careful now don't hurt yourself when you walk through that door I can hardly stand to look at you it makes me want to cry Get your tongue out of my mouth because I'm kissing you goodbye Now I suppose I'll never know why things turned out this way And why the one you love the most is the one you drove away Yes, and I suppose I'll never, ever really understand How I could think that you'd make me a happy married man So now I sit and contemplate the reason for it all The climb to heights of ecstasy the failure and the fall If a broken heart is purposeful it's in the lesson learned No matter what the reason is it hurts when you get burned Now I don't care, I don't think I'll ever love again Kemosabe used to me good and trusted friend But now it stands for therapy and all the tears I cry Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause I'm kissing you goodbye Bye-bye, goodbye Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause I'm kissing you goodbye
