Then you can tell me goodbye. If it don't work out, if it don't work out. Then you can tell me goodbye. If you must go I won't grieve. If you wait a lifetime before you leave. But if you must go Say Goodbye to Hollywood. " Say Goodbye to Hollywood " is a song written and performed by Billy Joel, first released in 1976 on his album Turnstiles as its opening track. It was originally released in the United States as the B-side to "I've Loved These Days" before being re-released a month later as an A-side single with "Stop in Nevada" as Till the next time we say goodbye Till the next time we say goodbye I'll be thinking of you I'll be thinking of you Yeah, a movie house on Forty-Second Street Ain't a very likely place for you and I to meet Watching the snow swirl around your hair and around your feet And I'm thinking to myself she surely looks a treat Till the next time we say Let′s just kiss and say goodbye. Let′s just kiss and say goodbye. Hmm [ (I'm gonna miss you)] (Ich werde dich vermissen) I′m gonna miss you, I can't lie. I′m gonna miss you, I can't lie. Understand me, won′t you try. Understand me, won′t you try. It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie.
