Buckley, Jeff - Last Goodbye Lyrics






This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then i'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it's over... it's over

  3. A.... V....

    Thank you.

  4. �.... ....

    ただただ儚く美しい

  5. M.... M....

    Jeff thank you....and see you...

  6. R.... T....

    You left us the greatest gift ever Jeff you really did. Your music really touches the soul. My daughter who was 8 at the time came home from school and said her whole class had to do a timeline and bio on their favourite singer. Wow her teacher was like woah! Blown away that she chose you being 8 and all. Most kids did theirs on mainstream artists today like Bieber, Khalid, Ed Sher etc that was in 2017. My listening to great music really makes for an awesome well rounded child with fantastic taste, and a great voice too! So I thank you forever ❤️ Rip

  7. G.... G....

    Sounds a tiny bit like "Goodbye" from The Sundays.

  8. P.... B....

    Amazing song!!

  9. 5.... S....

    This came out when I was 14 turning 15. Watched the music video on Rage. Couldn’t believe that a man could sing like this- so beautiful 💚 Have loved him all of these years later.

  10. m.... ....

    This is our last goodbye

  11. A.... e....

    Is it just me or does he play guitar like Jimmy page and have a voice like Robert Plant? Beautiful song...😍🌷💝

  12. H.... _....

    Por qué no viví esos años por la chucha :(

  13. f.... ....

    890 people suck.

  14. A.... A....

    That BASS <3

  15. A.... B....

    I wanna marry this man

  16. M.... M....

    You can see where Thom Yorke copped alot of his stylings.

    M.... M....

    Marquee Moon 👏

  17. M.... F....

    Happy Birthday and RIP, Jeff.

  18. a.... o....

    happy birthday, my darling.

  19. R.... C....

    Chilling with a the hubby, bottles of wine and listening to Jeff with him apologising for being sad. This was his childhood

  20. J.... P....

    This song.... love it so much ♡

  21. S.... F....

    Awesome Song

  22. D.... S....

    Singing a song called "Last Goodbye." While water flashes on a screen behind him.....

  23. R.... W....

    Saw Aretha last week (on screen). I hear parallels. Voices that break barriers, hit home.

  24. U.... c....

    Peace, love and J.B. for all of ū! 🙏

  25. J.... P....

    I think Jeff got reincarnated as James franco

  26. L.... H....

    Must I dream and always see your face

  27. H.... d....

    2019 ouvindo eternamente.

  28. d.... ....

    Jeff surely knew what heartbreak was!

  29. s.... ....

    I used to watch this as a kid I never realized it started with a man kissing on another man's neck. It's ok though it's still one of the greatest songs ever.

    s.... ....

    setondriveable
    Interesting. I had never noticed that before either. As far as I know, Jeff Buckley was heterosexual, but he did have empathy for marginalized people considered outcasts and/or misfits by mainstream society. Also, without outing anyone by name, I will say I am fairly confident that one of the members of his band was gay.

    s.... ....

    @Daniel Ponce hmm, so I'm guessing you were acquainted with Jeff and his band? would love to hear more about your memories, if possible!

  30. V.... ....

    Anyone hearing in 2019 ?

  31. H.... R....

    2019 actually means forever.

  32. F.... Z....

    Everyone should se Slow Pilots's cover of this song 😍

  33. B.... ....

    When he said "why cant overcome this wall" i felt that

  34. G.... T....

    Chris Cornell love this Jeff buckley song

  35. G.... T....

    Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"
    Did you rush to the phone to call
    Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind.

  36. T.... S....

    Being a long time resident of the Mississippi river. No you cant swim it.

  37. p.... s....

    This is our last goodbye
    I hate to feel the love between us die
    But it's over
    Just hear this and then I'll go
    You gave me more to live for
    More than you'll ever know

    This is our last embrace
    Must I dream and always see your face?
    Why can't we overcome this wall?
    Baby, maybe its just because you didn't know you at all

    Kiss me, please kiss me
    But kiss me out of desire, babe, not consolation
    Oh, you know it makes me so angry
    'Cause I know that in time, I'll only make you cry
    This is our last goodbye

    Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"
    Did you rush to the phone to call
    Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
    Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
    You didn't know him at all, oh oh, ya didn't know
    Ooo didn't know

    Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
    Burning clues into this heart of mine
    Thinking so hard on her soft eyes
    And the memories, offer signs that it's over
    Over

  38. M.... Z....

    Weeping so hard listening to this sitting in the cab, the sun is shining brightly outside but the world is flooded with deep strong emotions, I needed this.

  39. J.... J....

    I never realized until now how similar Jeff's voice and singing style is to that of Connor Mason from Nothing But Thieves!

  40. j.... f....

    Diran que freddy mercury era y sera la mejor voz de la historia pero para mi la voz de JEFF ES LA MEJOR DE LA HISTORIA

  41. p.... c....

    This is our last goodbye
    I hate to feel the love between us die
    But it's over
    Just hear this and then I'll go
    You gave me more to live for
    More than you'll ever know
    This is our last embrace
    Must I dream and always see your face?
    Why can't we overcome this wall?
    Baby, maybe its just because you didn't know you at all
    Kiss me, please kiss me
    But kiss me out of desire, babe, not consolation
    Oh, you know it makes me so angry
    'Cause I know that in time, I'll only make you cry
    This is our last goodbye
    Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"
    Did you rush to the phone to call
    Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
    Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
    You didn't know him at all, oh oh, ya didn't know
    Ooo didn't know
    Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
    Burning clues into this heart of mine
    Thinking so hard on her soft eyes
    And the memories, offer signs that it's over
    Over

  47. A.... R....

    Watching this in my last night at a apartment i always hated. See you never, m***erfucker!

  48. M.... T....

    I lost her guys. She's gone for good and I can't get her back

  49. S.... B....

    Breakup song

  50. S.... B....

    What a talent. I'm a musician of tiny proportions- Jeff Buckley's music makes me try harder, reach further and fear nothing. I cried when I first heard this.

  51. t.... 7....

    Respect from Amsterdam!

  52. J.... G....

    If you guys are interested, I edited and uploaded a music video of The Boys series with the Last Goodbye song. And I sincerely would love you to check it out. The style of the show fits perfectly with the music of Jeff Buckley. I promise

    J.... G....

    That sounds real good lm going to look for it i love the song so much i play it over and over the guitars are. So tough and that arrangement of music the lyrics i reread tonight says so much what a loving heart and soul true and pure love rythm music that says so much. Ram Tuff

    J.... G....

    @Kim Graves Did you watch it?

  53. a.... e....

    He was on a night swimming fully dress then a tugboat pass and he vanished🕇🕇🕇🕇

  54. A.... P....

    What a loss this was...He was amazing. Great musician and singer. He's timeless.

  55. M.... R....

    0:39 Fagget Scene Ever 😲😲🤢🤢😷😷😷😷

  56. R.... E....

    I've just recently started listening to Jeff and now I see why so many people like this guy.

  57. S.... H....

    Was he gay?

  58. J.... P....

    Been saying for 25 years...
    Want this played at my funeral

  59. �.... ....

    Goodbye Jeff Buckley, 50 years later you will be forgotten, some diehard fans will remembered you, mostly people will forgotten what you are.

  60. b.... s....

    Rick Beato sent me here. Anyone else?


    Sure, we sing the church song, but wow! All of this is amazing. I would have never made the connection without Rick's featuring Jeff.

  61. A.... G....

    I cannot get over how this went over in 'Vanilla Sky'

  62. D.... Y....

    It was Jeff describing the life-changing moment in New York when he heard “Yeh Jo Halka Halka Surroor Hai”, in his apartment, also my favourite, which convinced me to listen to his music. I have been a fan since: https://youtu.be/UIPXHsUXVH0

  63. g.... ....

    How the 1990s turned a corner with music and i felt so alive. thanks jeff.

  64. K.... T....

    This is a song i found accidentally back in the day. i love this

  65. T.... C....

    I've got an old iPod classic which my uncle bought me years ago. I think a year or two before they got discontinued. For some reason, I think due to age, it can randomise the tracks in an album. Usually I would remove the album as I wanted it in correct order. Grace is the only album to have this problem that I haven't removed. Too beautiful, even if the tracks aren't in the right order.

  66. C.... 8....

    This is a remixed version and it sounds great!

  67. M.... L....

    Maybe the most beautiful love song ever written & recorded that most music fans never heard.

  68. C.... M....

    So 90's <3

  69. J.... B....

    The last time I cried was the day this man died. Pure genius. Pure heart and soul.

  70. T.... F....

    People take this song as prophetic...I think it's just the musings of a guy who's come to the end of the road with a girl he thought he was in love with & it's all finally fallen apart. We've all been there. Definitely not played as much as it ought to be. Dead set genius. Pity he didn't come back from that swim on purpose. RIP JB.

  71. M.... L....

    Setember 2019 ?

  72. A.... K....

    Visited an old flame this past month. DONE.

    A.... K....

    I didn't know him at all...yeah right😟 I did

  73. F.... ....

    GREAT TUNE........

  74. P.... F....

    Cuando escucho a jeff la gente pregunta quien es ese cantante??? Mi respuesta es Dios es el puto amo el Señor Jeffrey Scott Buckely hijo de Tim Buckley. D.E.P. JEFF TU LEGADO ES ETERNO

  79. A.... R....

    The whole song and video gets me every time, but my God, 4:13-end on the last words of the song “it’s over” the look back at flash of memories and look towards blank face, so deep!! :,(

  80. B.... S....

  81. G.... J....

    He was just an AMAZING Songwriter could've been the next Kurt Cobain.btw you can hear the Led Zeppelin influence in this song. R.I.P. JB ❤

  87. T.... W....

    amazing song, amazing album, amazing talent - one of a kind

  88. m.... c....

    quelle chanson!quel talent!quelle voix!je ne m'en lasse pas...

  89. z.... d....

    Yesterday.
    It was yesterday.
    No more....

  90. W.... S....

    I didn't realize this was a gay love song. Kinda ruins it.

    W.... S....

    it's not. but if it were, why does that ruin it?

  91. G.... R....

    O vocal do Jeff é irreal de tão lindo e sublime! Me arrepio todo ouvindo, minha música preferida dele. ♡

  92. T.... L....

    I remember when this song was released on radio in February of 1995 and remember seeing the video on 120 Minutes. Song still genius.

  93. M.... M....

    Rip 90s

  94. b.... ....

    asik olmasaymısız🤤🤤🤤

  95. J.... T....

    God I was so in love with someone I couldn't have because he was in love with his close friend. I've been in the throws of depression for a while now and by the time they were finally dating he was still keeping her a secret to his friends. She was all over him and I grew intimidated, lost, borderline suicidal and jealous because to this day I had longed for a love with someone more beautiful than I could ever amount to being. Then I realized, I will never have balance or closure with someone so much more to promise to people I'll never need.

  96. e.... ....

    There are very, very, very few songs better than this one. Rest in peace, Jeff.

  97. S.... r....

    God damn it jeff. Why did you have to pass so early! What a talented dude!
