Trying to Say Goodbye (Single A-Side 1973)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Many's the time I've been moved or inclined
To write maybe a song about love
Taking the words as they come to my mind
And I send them along with my love

Just me and a melody
Sailing peacefully along
All is right with the world and me
Until love went wrong

Just yesterday I heard somebody say, "I'll forget you
If I could, but I can't, so I won't even try"
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye

Casually dressed I'm surviving, I guess
I guess only the time will tell
It don't really matter much where I go next
Just as long as it turns out well

Slow feet on a moving street
And the folks I meet all know
I ain't half as happy as I was a week ago

Just yesterday I heard somebody say, "I'll forget you
If I could, but I can't, so I won't even try"
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye

Oh yeah
Yes, it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Alright
Yes, it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
