Railroad station, Midnight trains Lonely airports in the rain And somebody stands there with tears in their eyes It's the same old scene, time after time That's the trouble with all mankind Somebody's always sayin' goodbye Taxi cabs leave in the night Greyhound buses with red tail lights Someone's leavin' and someone's left behind Well I don't know how things got that way But every place you look these days Somebody's always sayin' goodbye CHORUS: Take two people like me and you We could have made it, we just quit too soon Oh the two of us, we could have had it all If we'd only tried But that's the way love is it seems Just when you've got a real good thing Somebody's always sayin' goodbye Somebody's always sayin' goodbye
