This has got to be the saddest day of my life.
I called you here today for a bit of bad news.
I won't be able to see you anymore
because of my obligations, and the ties that you have.
We've been meeting here every day,
And since this is our last day together,
I wanna hold you just one more time.
When you turn and walk away, don't look back!
I wanna remember you just like this. Let's just kiss and say goodbye...

I had to meet you here today.
There's just so many things to say.
Please don't stop me till I'm through.
This is something I hate to do.
We've been meeting here so long.
I guess what we done, oh, was wrong.
Please darlin', don't you cry!
Let's just kiss and say goodbye! (Goodbye)

Many months have passed us by. (I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie. (I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you.
I just think this is the thing to do.
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie.
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy.
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try?
Let's just kiss and say goodbye! (Goodbye)

Mm... (I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie. (I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try? (I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie. (I'm gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes! (I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy. (I'm gonna miss you)
Let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby! (I'm gonna miss you)
Please, don't you cry! (I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try? (I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss and say goodbye! (Aah-Aah-Aah-Aah)

오늘 밤 당신을 꼭 만나야만 돼요.
해야 할 말들이 너무 많으니까요.
내 마음을 다 털어 놓을 때까지.
내 입을 막지 말아요.
우린 이곳에서 오랫동안 만났지만,
결코 이루어질 수 없는 운명인가 봅니다.
오, 내 사랑,
울지 말아요.
우리 키스로 안녕을 고하며 모든 걸 잊기로 해요.
벌써 여러 달이 우리 곁을 지나쳤어요.
틀림없이 난 당신을 그리워할 거예요.
당신을 잡고 싶지만,
세상일이란 다 그런 거라고 생각해요.
난 틀림없이 방황할 거예요.
당신은 다른 남자를 찾아 나서겠지요?
왜 저를 이해하려 하지 않나요?
키스로 안녕하며 모든 걸 잊기로 해요.
