HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE SAY GOODBYE Steven Goldman (album: BUSY BODY - 1983) Duet with Dionne Warwick Here we are so close to the end now Still holding on we try and pretend now Clinging to love we both know is dying We've tried and tried to find us a way out But darling our dreams have now all been played out Still we go on hopelessly trying Chorus: But how many times can we say goodbye Hos many times can we see love die How many times can we give it one more try Before we really say goodbye We're so in love but wrong for each other Each hurt that heals brings on another Both of us used and both of us using Darling it's time that we stop pretending There's just no way to rewrite our ending We're caught in this game And we know we're both losing Repeat Chorus Bridge: How many times can we break up and make up Both of our hearts refusing to wake up Just can't go on and on living a lie Though I'll always love you Repeat Chorus and Fade
