"Kiss
and Say Goodbye" is a song recorded by the American R&B vocal group The
Manhattans. It was one of the biggest hits
of 1976.
The song was written by Manhattans member Winfred
"Blue" Lovett. The lyrics and melody came to him late one night. As he
later recalled, "Everything was there. I got up about three o'clock in the
morning and jotted down the things I wanted to say. I just put the words
together on my tape recorder and little piano. I've always thought that when
you write slow songs, they have to have meaning. In this case, it's the love
triangle situation we've all been through. I figured anyone who's been in love
could relate to it. And it seemed to touch home for a lot of folks.
This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here every day
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darling, don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try,
try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief, wipe your eyes
(I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
(I'm gonna miss you)
Please, don't you cry
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss
And say goodbye
