Goodbye by Spice Girls, Music Video, Lyrics and Review
Goodbye is the Spice Girls’ ninth single in the UK and is the group’s first single without former band mate, Geri Halliwell. Since the single was out of print, Goodbye was added to the end of Forever which was released two years later.
This song is fantastic, I’m glad they are back !
Spice Girls - Goodbye Lyrics
No no no no
No no no no
Listen little child
There will come a day
When you will be able, able to say
Never mind the pain, all the aggravation
You know there’s a better way
For you and me to be
Look for the rainbow in every storm
Fly like an angel heaven sent to me
Goodbye my friend
(I know you’re gone, you said you’re gone but I can still feel you here)
It’s not the end
(You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it, time will never change it, no no
No no no no
Just a little girl, big imagination
Never letting no one take it away
Went into the world, what a revelation
She found there’s a better way for you and me to be
Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain love’s gonna be there for you
You’ll always be someone’s baby
Goodbye my friend
(I know you’re gone, you said you’re gone but I can still feel you here)
It’s not the end
(You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it, time will never change it, no no
No no no no (You know it’s time to say goodbye)
No no no no
The times when we would play about
The way we used to scream and shout
We never dreamed you’d go your own sweet way
Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain love’s gonna be there for you
You’ll always be someone’s baby
Goodbye my friend
(I know you’re gone, you said you’re gone but I can still feel you here)
It’s not the end
(You gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it, time will never never ever change it
No no no no
(You know it’s time to say goodbye)
No no no no
(And don’t forget you can rely)
No no no no
(You know it’s time to say goodbye and don’t forget on me you can rely)
No no no no
(I will help, help you on your way)
No no no no
(I will be with you every day)
No no no no…
