Vandross, Luther - How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye Lyrics






Here we are so close to the end now
Still holding on and trying to pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying
We've tried and tried to find the solution
But Darling
All our dreams have been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying

How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye

We're so in love but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another
Both of us abusing
Both of us using
Darling
It's time to stop pretending
There's just no way to rewrite our ending
We're caught in this game
And we both know we're losing, but

How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye

How many times can we breakup and makeup
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on and on
Living a lie
Though I'll always love you

How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we watch love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye
Bye-bye
Good-bye
Bye-bye

Good-bye

    Luther may be the best vocalist of all times.   Dionne is fabulous. What a duet.

  61. S.... M....

    Take note to you all Millennials! This is Music, when they wrote songs with written Music, & ZERO computerized. This song is also sang by two of the most beautiful souls, & I'm so grateful that I had Life just to be able to listen & appreciate Music & Song.... + the way it still hurts deep when I think of all the ladies I courted, respected & loved....But they were cheating Skanks though...

  62. D.... S....

    I definitely remember watching this on BET's Video Soul program back in the 1980's. It was our MTV!

  63. S.... M....

    It's a great Break-up song. Amicable & respectful. If it doesn't work out, just walk away with the exact dignity that brought you two together....

  64. A.... M....

    Great song by great artist

  65. A.... C....

    Dionne looks so beautiful in this video.

  66. D.... D....

    Its Like they Shot this Video While The cast of 'Little Shop of Horrors' were out to Lunch😂😂😂

  67. D.... D....

    You hear Whitney in the Background at @1:03 !??

    D.... D....

    Good catch. I did not notice that before.

    D.... D....

    I think Luther was already in good hands with Lisa Fischer, Ava Cherry, and Kevin Owens during this era as his main backing vocals.

  68. w.... ....

    Looking at Dionne in the vid you can see Nippy a bit.....

  69. p.... s....

    this has been my jam for so many years. a time when life was simple!

  70. M.... ....

    Gorgeous.

  71. S.... K....

    some things were predicted long ago l think i can relate to the song

    I hear "The Greatest Love Of All" in here... <3 Whitney must have loved this song.

  75. M.... S....

    j.... ....

    Jerome Holloman We lost him in 2005 i think😢😪

  88. O.... R....

    Very lovely song as well video. Well directed. Dionne Warwick is sure exotic beauty throughout all shots of this video. I surely would rewrite the lyrics to the song. I can't live this lie...I isn't saying goodbye to a beautiful woman, without a warm divine wet romantic bedroom fight. Red wine, rose pedals with hot love on our minds lol.

  89. T.... M....

    Dionne has a weird looking face in this video.
    I'm not saying she's ugly not hardly but something is weird about her face.

    T.... M....

    Krayola D It's DIONNE😕

    T.... M....

    Terrence Malbrough tru tru

    T.... M....

    So true but not necessarily ugly

  90. h.... ....

    god this lady is drop dead gorgeous

    h.... ....

    higirlize Agreed! A young Dionne looks like a young Whitney 😍

  91. s.... ....

    No internet, wifi, twitter, or instagram. I miss days when music has meaning that captured the heart. I truly miss the man and his gift that he shared with the world.

    s.... ....

    "DITTO!!!!!"🕯

  92. V.... M....

    I'll listen to voices like Luther, Tevin Campbell Kenny Lattimore, Peabo Bryson, and Jesse Powell before those 1 dimension "whiners" like Tank, Avant, Usher, and Joe. Damn! I just realized these one namers have no depth to their voices.

    V.... M....

    Those newer guys aren't so bad. Certainly better than Bieber etc.

    V.... M....

    Please take Joe out of this list, he can actually sing.

    V.... M....

    Derrick Crawford So can Usher and I don't remember how the others sound but I am pretty sure they can sing.

    V.... M....

    Jay West Yes, Usher can too.

    V.... M....

    that list of "whiners" is ridiculous they are definitely not 1 dimension. These guys can put on a live show like the rest.

  93. D.... S....

    The best duet song ever written! Thank you luther, you will be missed.. Your voice, your music will live on forever in our hearts

  94. J.... H....

    Love this song so much, Thank You !!!

  95. B.... S....

    Great song

  96. v.... n....

    Beautiful song.

  97. N.... G....

    Dionne my favourite singer! I love Dionne!
