My name is Charlie, 60 yrs old, from the South. Raised on a farm, 33 acres, chickens, cows, corn, peaches, watermelon. Telemarketer. I selected a song to represent my life’s toughest moment.  “Kiss and Say Goodbye” sung by The Manhattans. I dedicate this to my ex-girlfriend & myself.

You asked me if I loved you. & I choked on my reply. I’d rather hurt you honestly than to hurt U w/ a lie.

We met as innocent star-crossed lovers.

Loving someone other than each other.

Uncertainty & desire forced us together. Right & wrong became blurred. Our spouse, fiancée… was an obstacle overcome by feelings.

If U can’t be w/ the one you love, love the one you’re with. 

If loving U is wrong, I don’t want 2 be right.

That’s Y it was the saddest day of my life. I’ve got bad news. I can’t see U anymore.

That’s Y it was the saddest day of my life when I told U the bad news that I can’t see U anymore.  Freedom, marriage, debts, job, long distance relationship… any excuse will do.  However, none of these mattered before.

Let’s just kiss and say goodbye.

Unimaginable thrills.

Unspeakable pleasures.

Amazing dates. 

I’m gonna miss U.

Inseparable, we were. Joined at the hip.

Repeat.

Y must this be?

Have I taken the road less traveled?

Have I cut off my nose to spite my face?

I don’t want to know the answer. It hurts trying.

Let’s just kiss and say goodbye.

I want to hold U one last time.

Our plans were perfect.

Our vows unbreakable.

Our future a fantasy come true..

How did it come to this? This fateful day. Star-crossed lovers, crossing the Rubicon. 

The die has been cast.

4 better or for worse. Whatever the outcome.

Let’s just kiss and say goodbye.

KISS AND SAY GOODBYE

By The Manhattans

This has got to be the saddest day of my life

I called you here today for a bit of bad news

I won’t be able to see you anymore

Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have

We’ve been meeting here every day

And since this is our last day together

I wanna hold you just one more time

When you turn and walk away, don’t look back

I wanna remember you just like this

Let’s just kiss and say goodbye

I had to meet you here today

There’s just so many things to say

Please don’t stop me ‘til I’m through

This is something I hate to do

We’ve been meeting here so long

I guess what we done, oh, was wrong

Please darlin’, don’t you cry

Let’s just kiss and say goodbye 

Many months have passed us by

I’m gonna miss you, I can’t lie

I’ve got ties, and so do you

I just think this is the thing to do

It’s gonna hurt me, I can’t lie

Maybe you’ll meet, you’ll meet another guy

Understand me, won’t you try, try, try, try, try, try, try?

Let’s just kiss and say goodbye 

I’m gonna miss you, I can’t lie

Understand me, won’t you try?

It’s gonna hurt me, I can’t lie

Take my handkerchief, wipe your eyes

Maybe you’ll find, you’ll find another guy

Let’s kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby

Please, don’t you cry

Understand me, won’t you try?

Let’s just kiss

And say goodbye
