Best Rock Ballads

“Say good bye just good bye
to all your worries good bye
Say good bye just good bye
without fear of change good bye

just walking aimlessly
good bye to the treasures of exhausted days
going on, the signposts
the same as that first wind

If you can’t find a way
the many winding roads
shade your eyes from the sky Round & round
feeling scared about an unknown land
asking the tiny song

Please songs tell me true
no matter where I go
your melody’ll keep on playing
someday again, even when I get lost on my own
if I can hear it, I can walk on merrily.

- from Goodbye, lyrics and music by hide
Lyrics partly in Japanese and partly in English; translation by Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma”

“The Day You Said Goodnight lyrics

Artist - Hale

Take me as you are,
Push me off the road the sadness,
I need this time to be with you
I’m freezing in the sun;
I’m burning in the rain
The silence;
I’m screaming,
Calling out your name.
And I do reside in your light
Put out the fire with me and find
Yeah you’ll lose the side of your circles
That’s what i’ll do if we say goodbye.

To be is all I gotta be
And all that I see
And all that I need is time
To me, the life you gave me
The day you said goodnight.

The calmness in your face
That I see through the night
The warmth of your light is pressing unto us
You didn’t ask me why
I never would have known oblivion is falling down.
And I do reside in your light
Put out the fire with me and find
Yeah you’ll lose the side of your circles
That’s what i’ll do if we say goodbye.

To be is all I gotta be
And all that I see
And all that I need is time
To me the life you gave me
The day you said goodnight.

If you could only know me like your prayers at night
Then everything between you and me will be all
Right.

To be is all I gotta be
And all that I see
And all that I need is time
To me the life you gave me
The day you said goodnight.

She’s already taken,
She’s already taken
She’s already taken me
She’s already taken,
She’s already taken
She’s already taken me.
The day you said goodnight

just read the lyrics and you’ll see how nice it is
