Say Goodbye To It All Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

We took a boat over Lake Geneva. 

It was raining all night long 

We were lucky and we saw no enemy 

And came from Switzerland, poor refugees 

Far from the guns of war 

We said goodbye to it all 

They brought us in to a nurse's station 

Half a mile behind the lines 

Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking 

To see the children, and the walking wounded 

Hoping for a ticket home 

To say goodbye to it all

I woke up on a cold blue morning 

I see her there, standing right beside me 

Long years since I left her at the borderline 

And how she found me I'll never know 

We decided there and then 

To say goodbye to it all (to it all) 

Say goodbye to it all 

Say goodbye to it all... 

Took a train from Paris to the ocean 

Found a small hotel by the coast 

As we walked along the beaches of Normandy 

We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold 

And whispered a prayer for the boys 

Who said goodbye to it all

Now we've got our own place by the water 

And I have a job in the old hotel 

She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter 

Well I don't mind, we've made our choice. 

We've got all the time in the world 

We said goodbye to it all 

We said goodbye to it all. 

'bye to it all 

Say goodbye to it all 

Say goodbye to it all 

Say goodbye to it all 

Say goodbye to it all. 

Say goodbye 

Say goodbye
