Say Goodbye

Since it's Valentines Day, I thought I'd do something different and post a love song.

Here is one song that I absolutely like. It is sung by Dave Matthews Band, I have three versions of it in my mp3 player and I find myself constantly looking for the tracks--even when I hit the gym!

A few years ago, I remember watching a late night talk show in the Philippines, Martin After Dark (M.A.D.) wherein singers Barbie Almabis and Aiza Seguera, then rumored to be lesbian lovers were featured guests. They were doing a few sets (acoustic) and they sang this particular song. Up to that point, I have never heard anyone cover this song.

Aiza is now supposed to be with someone else, of the same sex. Barbie, according to my friend is currently pregnant and expecting to give birth in a few months (uhhh well, yeah that's the idea, get pregnant and give birth after approximately 9 months).

Without further ado, here goes Say Goodbye.

So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl just tonight
Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away
And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye
