Denver, John - Goodbye Again Lyrics
It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise.
There's frosting on the windowpane and sorrow in your eyes.
The stars are fading quietly, night is nearly gone.
And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come,
and it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you.
and I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?
It seems a shame to leave you now, you lay so soft and warm.
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms.
I long to kiss your tears away and give you back your smile.
But other voices beckon me and for a little while it's goodbye again,
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again,
and I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?
I have to go and see some friends of mine and some that I don't know,
It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand, it's anyone who'll listen to me sing.
If your hours are empty now, who am I to blame?
Do you think if I were always here, our love would be the same?
As it is, the time we have is worth the time alone.
And lying by your side's the greatest peace I've ever known, and it's goodbye again,
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again,
and I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go?

Denver, John Goodbye Again Comments
This song makes me think of the love I could never find I feel so empty 💔 inside
Love the harmony in this song!
Lyrics could not be more beautiful
I know that it's been years since he's been gone, I can't think of anyone else as talented and loved as much as John.
He always questioned his talent and sadly suffered from depression like so many incredible artists do. I grew up listening to his music while my brothers and sisters were into heave metal music and I was teased for it. Whenever I'm anxious or down I turn to John Denver to cheer me up. My kids knew 'Grandma's feather bed' off by heart. God I miss him!
Sigh...Look at that face....soo sweet, kind, talented and the most extraordinary voice....Miss you so much John Denver. ...A loyal fan 8/10/19
Memories of the past,very sad
Johns reminds me of my father who passed away in 2013
Why do we always fight when i have to go !!!!.....
Stll listening to John Denver, the Voice, every day for hours.....Never get enough of his music....Love 6/15/19
Denver with that Falcon gives me happiness
Yes, Muqit...
Its Good-bye again.
Can you feel the pain what It feels when we have to go?? Its once more time i have to say, Goodbye again.
Always enjoyed John's music, and even had a little fun with this song when I was volunteering with a student-run college radio station back in the day. A female friend had the final show of the night, so as she was reading the station's usual signoff script after midnight, a couple of us played, "And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you ..." softly in the background.
Not many songs get to me, but this one chokes me up.😧
Never thought I’d be saying goodbye to you. 😢. Music is so special. So many happy memories.
You will always be in my heart ❤️ and soul. Very meaningful......I miss you John. I’m glad I was able to share all your great music and still am ‼️ 😊
I think I knew this decades ago but I'm just setting it down for the record today: I believe that this is Denver's greatest song.
John Denver had a way with a love song. I remember him well.
Wat een prachtig emotioneel lied, heerlijk die stem!!!!!!liefs marian.
I was an itinerant consultant for a couple decades and this song always played in my head when "I had to go." I miss John and wish i could have shared his wonderful concerts with my wife. Funny that my daughter and I sang his words back at him on his last tour. There's not been anyone like him since.
hear come the tears 😂😢
The best
john denver is the best
Thank you John for this great song .. you were a true artist .
Nice 😇
Tears, chills.. Goodbye John, your music or so special to me.....no words can ever explain the feelings I have when I hear your music. I'll never forget the morning I woke up and heard that you have died. You always be in my heart I you miss you.😪
Thanks for bringing such happiness and love into my life.
Still miss you. Been listening to you since 1973 loved you then love you now. Goodbye
I listened to this song religiously after I lost my beloved cinnamon, ironically I lost her 5 months before my firstborn child was born sleeping. Such a beautiful song, but so very many sad memories. Mammy loves you Lennon, sleep tight my prince and cinnamon, please give lennon lots of loving from me and please know how very much I love and miss you also. My heart aches beyond words for you both daily. Xxxxxxx
you was a incredible man, always in my thoughts and memories
one of the greatest song writers of all time... GENIUS
almost 20 yrs he left us, never will forget you, always a friend.
yes..john denver was simple singer at all....i really love hes songs and performance on the stage...cause his songs ..its very meaningful to us...liked reminding us to love each other or live in a peaceful minds.....we loved you john denver.....
His death is like, I am listening to his crispy voice and all of a sudden someone shuts off the speakers..... Been listening to his songs 40+ years and I still feel like he is around whenever I hear him sing......
johnboy will always be around forever,his kind of greatness comes along once in a billion years,r i p great man
I LOVED THIS SONG. IT REMINDS ME OF THE EARLY 1970, AND THE FIRST TIME I REALLY FELL IN LOVE. HE AND i dated on and off (Goodbye again) which was me. HE WAS 12 YRS OLDER AND WANTED A MONOGOMOUS RELATIONSHIP THAT I WASNT READY TO GIVE.
I LOVED MY Friday nights out with friends!
Wouldnt give them up!
STOP IT,
What the fuck are you doing!?
This is about My life, not yours!
Go away!
PATRICIA NULL when I hearing him singing I feel like his standing behind me and singing with the voice in my head...
music missed out on the goat. im 27. thank god my dad played this music
nobodies music gives me greater peace than john denvers
Nice...
I miss him so much. one of the greatest singer i ever heard
I cannot believe I will never get to go to one of his great concerts. My first love died young and the song I'm Sorry breaks my heart his name was John too. John rest in peace, see ya on the other side, you are never forgotten.
non d'une pipe pourquoi est il parti si vite !!!!
I wonder how many people have lived this one. I traveled for two decades and every week I felt these words. Every time I performed some computer magic, I thought of this song. It's definitely something that's inside of me. I loved work. Hated the travel. Hated being alone. Loved making people happy as I performed some feat they were told was impossible. I know the compulsion to stand in front of a small crowd and amaze them or sit with just one person and do something clever that hadn't been done before. Thanks, John. I'll have to go soon..............
I broke up with my girlfriend at 5am, for the second time, then sent her this song.. Was that a bastard move?
Adam Nicholson nope.
KINDA YEAH. LOL
No other voice like John"s!!! Still so sadly missed
i just started crying every time i sing john denver song,s
he had a lot of demons... u must have a few also... crying is good for the soul
h,i im david
Your all Good People ty's
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms. Oh, what beautiful lyrics!
i think it was 1970 when a blonde headed guitar player on stage at a dive in Georgetown said he would play a tune he wrote but would appreciate if people played it on the jukebox when he was gone since he said he was still trying to make it. His wide smile and self effacing glasses seemed to burst with enthusiasm and his song was long on feeling and rousing to a hick like me. E5 he said. The song was Country Roads and he sang hell out of it. i thought, this guy is going places. i went back to Virginia.
great recollection! Weren't you lucky :)x
If you're talking Georgetown, Co. that wasn't the Crazy Horse Saloon by chance?? Lived in Fire Hose Motel/Hotel (??) for several months while on job at Climax Mine in early 70's. Met some great people in winter of '74 and had one of the greatest times in my life. Still think of sweet Lillian to this day.
rexozone Yes, I know which club . It was a gay club back then, it was called the Dirty Sanchez.
nice lyrics
Such a sad but beautiful moving song,heart breaker
I miss John Denver's music! I am so sorry Michael Saltzman that your brother passed away and I hope you have a lot of good memories of your brother.

Damiana Constantino è una bella sorpresa vedere un commento in italiano a una canzone di John Denver! Lo ascolto da quando ho 17 anni e continuo anche ora che ne ho 24.
+Tommaso Baresi GOD LOVES YOU 🙌
my high school girlfriend introduced me to Johns music in 1977. He was already a mega star, but I really didn't follow his music. The first song I remember listening to was sunshine on my shoulders and I was hooked. I listen to his music everyday since.
i was awakened to his music in 75 and was the same song as you. I have seen him twice in concert. I wish he was still here. I love his music and it has shaped my life. I miss him a lot. His voice never grows old.

Leonard Henderson country roads was the one that catched my attention first and then I fell in love with all of his songs.
john died the same week my brother died. I miss them both every day.
Ah Michael - my heart hurts for you. I hope you find joy in your memories and comfort in having been able to have a brother you love enough to miss.
My chopper pilot died same weekend, so that was one awful weekend! Barth's chopper went down from a mismatched bolt thread.

"as it is, the time we have is worth the time alone. Lying by your side is the greatest peace I've ever known…" This is without a doubt the greatest lyrics ever written. To say these words to someone else, shows and expresses TRUE LOVE!!!
RIP JOHN! Your words will live forever!!!
John Denver writes with such a strength of sincerity and beauty. The tunes and lyrics will forever be in my heart. Thank-you John. May you soar above to your heart's content.
this guy could sing. i am a big M.J FAN and i was gutted to hear of his passing, i am to young to remember john Denver but I know i would of been a big fan of His. There so meany good artists that have died, its so sad to lose them,
Thanks for posting twister.
I'm with you Eve it breaks my heart to hear him sing knowing he's gone, what a treasure of love songs he left us.
I play many of his songs EVERY week....A lot of Feelgood Music the dear man left behind....Thank the Lord for the Legacy of Beautiful Music he made before he was taken from his Fans...Rest easy John Denver...R.I.P.
He was for sure an amazing talent, had a style of his own, and very distinctive, if you had to look to see who was singing, you weren't much better an ad is a few minutes
Goodbye Again but never forgotten.
I'm crying its so beautiful.
@Requiemknight1 :~(
John is so tranquil, melodies from the infirmenant, my soul rest from this barbaric existence we call life.
My music is my only respite from the cruelty, pain, and insanity, Gabe.
On this 17th anniversary of John Denver's passing... he is still missed and he still lives in my heart, sigh.
Yes he missed tremendously!
Eve Saizan that's this year
Eve Saizan
the best at Ballards miss his music what could have been
Me too play his music all the time
This song is the story of my life. Since my husband works away. I ask myself, why do we always fight when I have to go... Or if your hours are empty who am I to blame.. This song Makes me sad but also brings peace. Love all Denver's songs!!
never wanted to say goodbye to you john you were and always will be a star
just love this
Man up and just walk up to him and from every muscle in your body and fiber of your being smack him dead in the chops and send him to the floor, I hate to condon violance but if he is hitting you that aint cool and it is time to give a bully the whatfore, if that don't work send him my way I love to put bullies in thier place. LOLOLO
Very touched by your comment, sounds like me and a great friend I (thank God) still have, and I can not amagine life without him around, we are very close and have been since grade school (thats almost 45years now)(his kids call me uncle), we are closser thnt alot of brother's, so sorry for your loss I believe there is a heaven and we will be with those special people again some day, Take care.
This song fit my husband and I perfectly, when was he working on the road...
Always loved this song!
awesome melancholy song...unreal the emotions a song can bring out in a person...
My Friend Dan Harju, was just buried yesterday. When we were young, we would sing a lot of John's songs while sitting around the fire.John Denver was a big part of my life growing up and a huge influence in my music and my writing. Listening to these songs brings back memories of Dan and I trying to sound like John. Good Bye, My Friend, until we meet again........
