This document contains the lyrics to the song "Kiss and Say Goodbye" by The Manhattans. It tells the story of two lovers who are saying goodbye because their obligations and ties prevent them from continuing to see each other every day as they have been. In their final meeting, they hold each other one last time and share a kiss before parting ways, with the hope that the other won't look back and will remember them as they are in that moment. The lyrics express the sadness of their parting and missing each other, but also an understanding of the reasons why they must say goodbye.

48. Text : Kiss me and say Goodbye
This is got to be the saddest day in 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 everyday
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'd done oh was wrong
please darling don't you cry
let's just kiss and say goodbye.
Many months have passed us by
I'm gonna miss you I can't lie
I 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 ooh won't you try
let's just kiss and say goodbye.
Mmh…
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 hand but just awide your eyes
I'm gonna miss you
maybe you will 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 cry…
