Songs about Goodbyes

Good-bye, the opposite of hello, and yet it takes so many more words to say it. Some partings are fond and tearful, others sound like they're glad to see the other party go. Or as Shakespeare put it, "I dote on his very absence."

Saying your good-byes is an astoundingly broad song topic. We say good-bye to everything, to people, to romance, to youth, to old friends, even to places. We hardly talk when we encounter something, but when we're leaving it, it's all we can do to shut up. In any case, enjoy these songs about good-byes, and then stick around for awhile and check out the rest of the site.
