Irish Selection 1977:
Chips - "Goodbye Goodbye"

Goodbye Goodbye

Another rainy evening
Another airport on a winter's night
Soon, you will be leaving
Aboard an intercontinental flight

Try to understand it
It doesn't work the way we thought it would
It's not the way we planned it
I wouldn't go unless I thought I should

Goodbye, goodbye
There is no other way
Goodbye, goodbye
To all our yesterdays

A word of wisdom from the wisest man:
When you're down, get up and try again
So, goodbye, goodbye
And long live love again

Another plane is rolling
I hear the rumble to the runway's end
Can't you hear me calling?
I raise my hand and take it down again

I see you sadly waving
I hear the engines as they start to roar
What's the use in staying?
My heart is pounding as we start to soar
Higher and higher

Goodbye, goodbye
There is no other way
Goodbye, goodbye
To all our yesterdays

Way up here in my lonely world
I remember how it used to be
How we were always smiling
And we laughed away our fears
And I think of all we had before
As I wipe away my tears

Goodbye, goodbye
There is no other way
Goodbye, goodbye
To all our yesterdays

Goodbye, goodbye
There is no other way
Goodbye, goodbye
To all our yesterdаyѕ
