Is all that I have left, so let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by”

Said farewell to lonliness I knew,
Laid aside foolish pride,
Learnt the truth from tears I cried.”

“Summer. When the day is over
there's a heart a little colder;
someone said goodbye,
but you don't know why.
Somewhere there is someone keeping
all the tears they have been weeping,
someone said goodbye,
but you don't know why.”

There would still be music left to write.

“I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe.I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no.
I won't ask you, you to just desert me.
I can't give you, what you think you gave me.
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables.”

“The laughter came
When the tears stopped falling.
Now all I do is just call your name
(When I say lover)
You walked in and my heart discovered
That my life would never be the same.
Oh, you are my destiny.
You are my one and only.
You gave that joy to me
When my whole life was lonely.”

Lionel Richie (1949) American singer-songwriter, musician, record producer and actor
