Fleetwood Mac - Say Goodbye Lyrics






So you face yesterday
Thinking on the days of old
And the price that we paid
For a love we couldn't hold

I let you slip away
There was nothing I could do
That was so long ago, yeah
Still I often think of you

I fall down, I get up
And I've always had to fight
Everything that was wrong
For the things that were right

Now I finally found my way
Now I know just what to do
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Now I say goodbye to you

It's so hard to find your way
When the lies come around
Still it happens everyday
So don't let it get you down

Just a time within a time
Just a scheme within a scheme
A little world within a world
Yes, a dream, just a dream

Now I finally found my way
Now I know just what to do
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Now I say goodbye to you

Now I best be on my way
Before the night turns blue
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
And now I say goodbye to you
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Now I say goodbye to you

Fleetwood Mac Say Goodbye Comments
  1. D.... C....

    Lindsey's Intro: "There can be NO GAIN WITHOUT SOME LOSS. And NO REDEMPTION WITHOUT FORGIVENESS." Beautiful...

  2. i.... i....

    I saw in a documentary that Stevie presented how he wrote Go Your Own Way because it was quite blunt and harsh as a reaction to the dissolving of her and Lindsay's relationship/friendship. I think this is his real response to it. I think that's why theres such a tender and respectful atmosphere on stage in this video.

    i.... i....

    Resented how he**

  3. d.... k....

    I couldn't agree more, so beautifully said.

  4. T.... J....

    Lindsey Buckingham has always been nice looking, but as he's gotten older he is sexy as ever. Love these two

  5. J.... G....

    A song for the ages...truly

  6. w.... b....

    i came here for a roblox hat

  7. N.... 1....

    They still love each other in this by the looks of it in this, amazing song

  8. N.... 1....

    Lyndsey Buckingham is the best Travis plucker I've ever heard or seen,that guitar sounds like a piano in some parts, I shouldn't have listened to this again, missing someone now 😟

  9. l.... m....

    Just simply one of the most brilliant songs ever written.

  10. S.... M....

    Stevie breaks Down crying 😢 😢😢

  11. G.... ....

    "It's about coming to the terms with the fact that there can be little gain without some loss, and little redemption without forgiveness."-Lindsey. Powerful statement. Heartbreaking and emotional song. Thank you Lindsey and Stevie!

  12. J.... g....

  13. x.... ....

  14. M.... C....

    So you face yesterday

    Thank you for add lyrics, it’s just awesome.

  15. X.... ....

    WHOS FROM THE SUCCUBUS HAIR IN ROBLOX

  16. K.... A....

    The guitar work puts him in another category above the norm. I may venture to say the background melody he plays is based on Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony. It harmonies with their musical singing of the beautiful lyrics.

  17. K.... A....

    A great melody played and sung from the heart splendidly.

  18. K.... D....

    Im not crying.... you're crying!

  19. H.... T....

    one of the most emotional songs and performances.

  20. 1.... ....

    it's that hollowed out shifted reality feeling we all know...but hope no one has to...a classic gut ripper...like don mc lean..peter paul&mary...etc...when will we learn what matters!

  21. J.... D....

    I don't know what drew me to listen to this song today. My life is good. But man...sometimes you just remember a song and need to hear it. I this this is one of the most beautiful, meaningful songs ever written. Not a wasted word. And the guitar...jeez.

    J.... D....

    i find the same; this song and never goin back just mesmerise me . have to play both.. something needs to hear them inside.. consoling or emotional need

    J.... D....

    Same thing just happened to me today. Fantastic song ❤️

  22. G.... J....

    Guitar Skills

  23. S.... ....

    It was and always has been Fleetwood Mac Destiny, to be here for so long. I dearly Love them. Happy to of survived the 70's and 80's with them. I've yet to see them.I hope so much for One Last Tour, so that I can finally see them.

  24. G.... C....

    True Melonylontic Beauty,,, Good Bye I want this played at my Memorial.. Lindsay the Chord Master, & Stevie who's my one & only Songstress <3 them in this Thank you for the share..

    John Leo a lot of their songs are about each other

  28. G.... M....

    Yeah... Leaves me Speech less in

  29. N.... ....

    1 song is enough to respond to the entire album of Rumours

  30. M.... H....

    This song makes you think

  31. S.... E....

    This is the ULTIMATE Chord Cutting song. For all those lovers and friends who you thought would be there forever but fell through the cracks of Life, this song is for you. ♥

    S.... E....

    Here, Here Well said!

    S.... E....

    S.... E....

    That's exactly what I'm here for. *snip*

  32. e.... s....

    great song we have all been through it

  33. a.... ....

    Reminds me a lot of Empty Chairs by Don McLean. Acoustic guitar. Same sad feeling of loss. Similar tempo. Touching vocals.

    a.... ....

    Yes, indeed.

  34. C.... D....

    one hell of a love song...

  35. F.... B....

    THIS IS TALENT !...

  36. B.... ....

    is there a decent lesson to this that doesn't stray too far from Buckingham's finger-style?

    B.... ....

    It's in open g7 tuned down a half step

    B.... ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBPGTKM1ER8

  37. L.... ....

    N.... A....

    Natalia Anne Camagna this song means a lot to me this was the song at my dads funeral it's just a beautiful song I love it!

  49. S.... D....

    I saw them play in Amsterdam, last saturday. Unfortunately they didn't play this song.. Neither did they play Without You, Gypsy and Eyes of the World...
    A fantastic and memorable show nonetheless! (and a dream come true)

  50. i.... ....

    Saw them in oslo last night, i never thought i would get the chance to see them live. This was the last song, and i have to admit that more than one tear fell from mye eyes. Beautiful song, lyrics and amazing performers..

  51. a.... e....

    So happy I saw them live ! Even in 2013

  52. R.... M....

    WHO seriously would give this a thumb down?????????????

  53. C.... S....

    Was there!!!!

  54. F.... T....

    Brilliant work in songwriting etched in his heart- he STILL loves her but he had to let her go- but when they perform togther they cant hide how they feel and thats the only place they can share now- I think they both have healed a lot of hurt- he has moved on- he is married happy and fianlly found some peace- I think she is still lookin her hers but she'll get there!!

  55. D.... ....

    Still it happens everyday/so don't let it get you down/Just a time within a time/just a scheme within a scheme/a little world within a world/Yes a dream,just a dream/now I finally found my way/now I know just what to do/once you said goodbye to me,yeah/now I say goodbye to you/now I best be on my way/before the night turns blue/Once you said goodbye to me,yeah/and now I say goodbye to you/once you said goodbye to me,yeah/Now I say goodbye to you.

  56. D.... ....

    So you face yesterday/thinking on the days of old/and the price that we paid/for a love we couldn't hold/I let you slip away/there was nothing I could do/that was so long ago,yeah/still I often think of you/I fall down I get up/and I've always had to fight/everything that was wrong/for the things that were right/now I finally found my way/now I know just what to do/once you said goodbye to me, yeah/now I say goodbye to you/It's so hard to find you way/when the liars come around.....

  57. h.... ....

    There is no evidence of what you say. The only thing either of them have confirmed, is that she treated him badly by cheating on him.

    Strange that you want to use rumors to justify her bad behavior.

    You've wasted enough of my time already.

  58. h.... ....

    Funny, but the only facts are that she admitted to cheating on him. The rest, is nothing but rumors.

  59. S.... ....

    so nope, in short i don't think "she destroyed him", I think he had problems beyond her cheating, that he continued projecting onto other people for many years, and it doesn't make me feel like I should be sorry that she cheated, because he did way worse.

  60. S.... ....

    Yeah, sure, but he isn't a poor baby. He was described by everybody around them at that time as volatile, quickly angered, he had physical fights with her, he also beat up the girlfriend he had during the Rumours tour... it's hardly the case of someone who deserves to be pitied because he was cheated on. He seems to have been extremely messed up during that time, and she was as well, but in comparison, cheating is nothing compared to what is attributed to him.

  61. h.... ....

    Did I say it made her the devil? Where do you get your ideas from? All I said, was she destroyed him by cheating on him with another member of the band.

    Imagine you are supposed to sing love songs written by you and your lover, while she is standing feet from the guy she is cheating on you with.

    That wasn't honorable of her, it was terrible. That she eventually apologized is great, but it is hardly a character reference.

  62. S.... ....

    that's very honorable of her, but having cheated doesn't make her the devil.

  63. h.... ....

    I don't know anything about that. What we do know for sure is that she has apologized to Buckingham for cheating on him with their band-mate.

  64. S.... ....

    If it is true that Lindsey beat her up, she couldn't have done a better thing that leaving him, no matter how destroyed he felt.

  65. E.... C....

    Harlan she told hi. She didnt want to be with him years before she had an affair with mick. Get with your Mac triivia man!

  66. h.... ....

    If by gave him the boot, you mean, she started having an affair with Mick Fleetwood that about destroyed Buckingham, then you'd be right.

  67. D.... W....

    Just saw them perform this in Tampa Friday night, they embraced, he kissed her cheek/forehead & then he walked off the stage with tears; she choked up but no tears. I had front row seats & most of us were in tears as well. My video is no where as good as this one. Will post later- thanks for the share.

  68. I.... G....

    I'm with you, Claude! About to buy tickets to see them for the first time. Can't wait.

  69. P.... C....

    Wow! How painfully endearing. Long may they reign.

  70. E.... C....

    He didn't leave her -- she gave him the boot!

  71. S.... F....

    they're playing this year. finally got my tickets!

  72. D.... C....

    she left him

  73. B.... S....

    It was a time of free love and drugs. Stevie Nicks left him.

  74. t.... ....

    If you take the album version and slow it down to 110bpm (using Logic or something...without affecting the pitch, obviously) it's actually kinda perfect.

  75. E.... R....

    How could he possibly have left Stevie, I Would Rather Have Died!!!!!!!!!!

  76. t.... ....

    You're absolutely right - I can't listen to the album version. This live one is the definitive version for me. So sad and beautiful.

  77. B.... A....

    This is the most mature enlightened song I have ever heard. Very sad and a magnificent way to a long love lost xXx

  78. E.... R....

    How Could Any Man in His Right Mind Say Good Bye to Stevie!!!!!!!!!!!!

  79. W.... ....

    I don't know how old you are, but in my case I want to see them before they die. Not that I expect them to die in the enar future, but they most likely will die before me. Seems like 2013 might be my lucky year.

  80. M.... B....

    What a magnificent ode to a love lost

  81. l.... z....

    my heart aches for them you can still see love thats still there how sad 2 broken hearts that will never be whole again.

  82. S.... E....

    the connection they have between them....it just makes my heart melt.

  83. b.... n....

    Why can't we get this slow verson on a CD. The one they do is so fast it spoils the song.

  84. M.... M....

    listening to these lyrics makes me wanna cry, not for me , but for them... makes me feel bad that they obviously still love each other yet cant be together. :(

  85. D.... ....

    I would love to learn this on my guitar I would be complete I can really relate to the lyrics I had to say goodbye to someone I loved the most in this world I just cant make it work out .

  86. C.... C....

    @glaude19 Same here my Dream is to see them in person!

  87. S.... W....

    @mcmikel61 Look at his face! He obviously loves her but needs to move on.

  88. C.... D....

    Such a heartbreaking song. They have so much love for eachother.

  89. m.... e....

    "Wait to find its time, and coming to terms with out some loss and little redemption without forgiveness"? Can someone please explain all that to me? Thanks.

    m.... e....

    michael eden coming to terms with that there can be little gain without some loss, and little redemption without forgiveness.

  90. l.... f....

    this is fabulous, thank you for posting. another version of it is on lindsey's soundstage concert and it is on youtube also. you should see the kiss he gives her on the head at the end. they love each other, no doubt about it.

  91. c.... j....

    i want to see them before i die ,i promise me
    i love them so
