And love is blind and that I knew when, My heart was blinded by you. I've kissed your lips and held your head. Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell. I've been addicted to you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You
Thatâs how I feel when I hear Jamesâ âGoodbye My Loverâ. Itâs a song that my father loved. Whenever I hear it, Iâm reminded of the love that he had for me and for the rest of the family. He was a good man, who was taken away from us far too soon simply because he innocently witnessed a gangland killing.

According to Blunt, his lyrics are âabout looking back on a relationship and, you know, itâs that memory of people who have touched your life.âI cannot live without you. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when Iâm asleep. And I will bear my soul in time, When Iâm kneeling at your feet. Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.N4wwQ.
