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
