a sad goodbye - without you
Sunday, December 18th, 2005my close friend steph reminded me of this song. i haven’t heard it in a long time. everyone knows mariah carey’s version but the original is always going to be the best. this song is so sexy yet sad at the same time. i’ve been listening to it a lot lately. there’s so much emotion expressed in the chorus that other songs can’t even touch. maybe it’s the way mr. nilsson sings the song too. the picture that he paints is so vivid… so real. it reminds me of a couple who have just parted ways at the airport. they give each other a long tight hug without a look back. sad… so sad.
No, I can’t forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that’s just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No, I can’t forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there and then I let you go
And now it’s only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can’t live if living is without you
I can’t live, I can’t give anymore
I can’t live if living is without you
I can’t give, I can’t give anymore
No, I can’t forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that’s just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can’t live if living is without you
I can’t live, I can’t give anymore
I can’t live if living is without you
I can’t live, I can’t give anymore
