THEN I CAN SAY GOODBYE (Koji Ishizaka/Koichi Sakata)

If I could give you every summer day

And see your face smiling every day

And if someone will wipe your tears away

And hold you, hold you


If you can find a love that never dies

If only sorrows will pass you by

And if someone can love you more than I

Then I can say goodbye


A cold wind's blowing right through your heart

You say you're down and out and we should part

When I will let you know, in time our love will grow

No cold winds come and cold winds blow

Give me the time I need so you'll be trusting me

Then I can say, can say goodbye


[saxophone solo]


If I could give you every summer day

And see your face smiling every day

And if someone will wipe your tears away

And hold you, hold you


If you can find a love that never dies

If only sorrows will pass you by

And if someone can love you more than I

Then I can say goodbye


A cold wind's blowing right through your heart

You say you're down and out and we should part

When I will let you know, in time our love will grow

No cold winds come and cold winds blow

Give me the time I need so you'll be trusting me

Then I can say, can say goodbye
