"Goodbye To Romance"
— by Ozzy Osbourne
This song is about Ozzy's split from Black Sabbath. An emotional time for him, Ozzy was not sure he would be successful on his own. Randy Rhoads wrote the music. Randy died in a plane crash while the band was touring in Florida in 1982; he was 25. This was included on the 1987 double-album Tribute, which is a tribute to Rhoads. Ozzy chose live cuts with the help of Rhoads' mom for the album.
Yesterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun
Or will it rain
Everybody's having fun
Except me, I'm the lonely one
I live in shame
I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end
I've been the king, I've been the clown
Now broken wings can't hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with the broken crown
It won't be me this time around
To love in vain
I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end
And I feel the time is right
Although I know that you just might say to me
What'cha gonna do
What'cha gonna do
But I have to take this chance goodbye
To friends and to romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
Come on now
I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end
And the weather's looking fine
And I think the sun will shine again
And I feel I've cleared my mind
All the past is left behind again
I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end
