A Blog About and Oldies Song

Random Musings...

To those who know me well, I appreciate a wide range of musical genres, from Classical to Hip-Hop, to even a bit of Trance and House. But I tend to lean on the Classsical and Oldies, as I was brought up listening to such music. Anyway, there's this song that struck me: "Kiss me Goodbye" by Petula Clark. The song is about a girl asking for a last kiss before she let's go of her one true love. The lyrics are sad, but the music is quite happy, giving an impression that the girl is forcing herself to smile and accept what happened though she is crumbling inside. THe song had me in LSS actually, but it is a nice song, so I don't mind...

Here are the lyrics of the song...

 Kiss Me Goodbye as sung by Petula Clark

We choose it, win or lose it
Love is never quite the same
I love you, now I've lost you
Don't feel bad, you're not to blame

So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye

I know now I must go now
Though my heart wants me to stay
That girl is your tomorrow
I belong to yesterday

So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye
My darling kiss me goodbye
