"Why Do Lovers (Have To Say Goodbye)"  by Cliff Eberhardt

The oriental or "eastern" quality of this song reminds me of something off George
Harrison's "Cloud Nine".


D
I've been trying hard to get to you,
                                       Bm
Even though I've heard there's someone new,
D               Bm 
What could ever change your mind, 
G                 Em
When your love is still on mine,
Bm            A                D
Why do lovers have to say goodbye?


There are things I'd like to do to you,
Because they were my favorite thing to do,
Now you say I make you cry,
Remember when I made you sigh,
Why do lovers have to say goodbye?

(Bridge)

G
Tomorrow will be brighter
    F#m  
The grass is always greener
Em         A       D
Merrily we roll along
G
Love's not what it should be
F#m
Love is like a gypsy
Em                             A
It steals your heart then it's gone

I remember when our love was new,
Thinking I would spend my life with you,
Just when things were going fine,
We fell in love and changed your mind,
Why do lovers have to say goodbye?

(repeat bridge)

I think you should fight for what is true,
Therefore I think I should fight for you,
Believing love can still survive,
Standing still, stopping time,

Bm            A               F#   Bm  F#
Why do lovers have to say goodbye
Bm            A               D
Why do lovers have to say goodbye
