I have something important to say to you
Don’t read your book, please listen to me now
How many years have we been together?
The first time we met was right here too
Because you are perceptive
You know what I’m going to say
Rather than to keep on hurting each other
Let’s find solace and go our separate ways
So Bye-bye Love
It’s a white snowy night outside
Bye-bye Love
It’s a white snowy night outside

Since the time you told me the name
Of this restaurant over the phone, I knew
Knew that we would break up here tonight
Taking a shower felt sorrowful
How many cigarettes are needed
To create the words “goodbye”?
So let me stay until you have smoked
The very last stick
But Bye-bye Love
It’s a white snowy night outside
Bye-bye Love
It’s a white snowy night outside

Customers as sparse as the chairs
Though it used to be so lively here
Would a stranger looking at us
See a loving couple?
Women always have two sides
A strong woman who binds a man
And a weakling who clings to a man
You were both of that
But Bye-bye Love
It’s a white snowy night outside
Bye-bye Love
It’s a white snowy night outside

I am reflected in your eyes
My face dirtied and ugly with tears
This is the final time I’m putting on makeup
So make me into a beautiful memory
I will leave after you do
Because I want to watch your retreating figure
I’ve always walked under your shadow
Can’t change that habit
But Bye-bye Love
It’s a white snowy night outside
Bye-bye Love
It’s a white snowy night outside

Bye-bye Love
And then, there was nobody
Bye-bye Love
And then, there was nobody
Bye-bye Love Lu…
Bye-bye Love Lu…
Bye-bye Love Lu…
Bye-bye Love Lu…
