Goodbye, Beautiful

[Verse] In a café, in the city, lights are shining low, Here's a tale of love and parting, something you should know, When the dawn came callin', we had to say goodbye, Goodbye, my beauty, with a tear in my eye. [Chorus] Bella ciao, oh bella ciao, our love was sure and strong, But the time has come, my dear, to sing a farewell song, Bella ciao, oh bella ciao, we'll treasure what we've shared, In a dizzy dance of dreams, where our hearts once dared. [Verse] We danced beneath the street lamps, shadows intertwine, Whisperin' our secrets, sip by sip on wine, With the band serenading, in the jazzy, soulful night, Goodbye, my true love, under the fading light. [Bridge] The saxophone was croonin', a melody so sweet, We swayed in perfect rhythm, our hearts skipped a beat, But the morning, oh it beckoned, and we had to part, Carvin' out a memory, deep inside our hearts. [Chorus] Bella ciao, oh bella ciao, our love was sure and strong, But the time has come, my dear, to sing a farewell song, Bella ciao, oh bella ciao, we'll treasure what we've shared, In a dizzy dance of dreams, where our hearts once dared. [Verse] Now I'm walkin' down the alley, hearin' echoes of our tune, In the city's sighs and whispers, beneath the silv'ry moon, While the saxophone is wailin', a sorrowful goodbye, Goodbye, my beauty, with a tear in my eye.
