Whisper of Heart......Goodbye Again / John Denver

Today I am going to post a song by John Denver, the following composition makes me feel if you want to go away from someone, but that person constantly comes to you... in thoughts... in dreams... you recall the time spent with her and you unconsciously get surprised if someone utters her name... now I can recall a couple of lines from a great poet before I go to the composition of John Denever. The couplet is like,

Bechain wo hi nahi, bequaraar mai bhi hoon,
aur zabaan kehti hai k saaraa kasoor usaka thaa,
zamiir kehtaa hai k zimmedaar mai bhi hoon.

[ Not only that person is restless, I also am equally desperate. And the tongue says that she/he is the guilty. But the heart says that I also am responsible.]

It’s five o’clock this morning, and the sun is on the rise
There’s frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come

And it’s goodbye again, I’m sorry to be leavin’ you
Goodbye again, as if you didn’t know
It’s goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go

It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm
I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile
Other voices beckon me, to go a little while

And it’s goodbye again, I’m sorry to be leavin’ you
Goodbye again, as if you didn’t know
It’s goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go

Have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don’t know
Some who aren’t familiar with my name,
It’s something that’s inside of me not hard to understand
It’s anyone who listens to me sing

And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I’ve ever known

But it’s goodbye again, I’m sorry to be leavin’ you
Goodbye again, as if you didn’t know
It’s goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go
