Lyrics:
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
#LeonardCohen #HeyThatsNoWayToSayGoodbye - เพลง
I had a little girl with long blond hair, suddenly come ill with leukemia, and I was singing this as we drove to an appointment for her....She said, "Mommy, that was so beautiful...sing it again." That moment, I knew she'd soon be gone. I've always loved Leonard's music, and this was one of the reasons
so sorry
Bless her soul, little Angel. x
D.L. Thompson Bless her soul 🙏❤🌹
You had your daughter if not for a short while of which your love for her remains in her deep soul. LC helped you move gracefully. My thoughts are with your sad , sad loss. RIP little child.
No hay palabras que puedan consolar la pérdida de un hijo, le pido a Dios, que llene de paz tu vida y tenga a tu hija en su santo reino esperando reencontrarse.
A fucking brutal song. This guy knows break-ups like water knows wet. This song is too real
This song hits different when the person you're in love with passes away in an unexpected, brutal way without them knowing how you felt.
I was working up the courage to tell him. I was 48 hours too late. His life was robbed from him.
Such a BRUTAL VERB to use in retrospect...? please extend your vocabulary !
@@rockinrollinntrollin616No, I think it’s perfect. Love, loss, many things… have that quality at times - it is testament to the depth of our feelings, the immensity of life. In this context ‘brutal’ is challenging, but I think I get it. Brutal and beautiful, all wrapped up together…
It's insane how good his music is. It tears me apart but I love it
I can't stop crying.
My Dad listening to Leonard Cohen in the car is my first memory.
I knew I loved him, but only now he's really gone do I realise how much.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. You must have many wonderful memories to cherish. May your always hold your father close in your heart - and listen often to Leonard Cohen songs..
Life is beautiful with music as great as Leonards !! And memories are heart felt very strongly forever ! Peace to you always ! your friend even though i've never met you.
Give thanks for every day and give your best to those you love. When they're gone, you know that it wasn't nearly enough - but at least you did your best.
Je suis très touché par votre message , quant un être cher est parti ,et on réalise qu'on ne pourra plus lui dire qu'on l'aime..
I wish you both a reunion in heaven from the deepest of my heart! Love and Peace, Peter
Mr. Cohen r.i.p. but your songs are immortal
When my wife was having chemotherapy for her cancer we would drive to the appointment each week and listen to Cohen, and this song in particular. Jill loved his stuff. I had it played for her funeral. The words fitted with terrible, horrifying perfection.
My condolences. I agree, poignant melody, poignant lyrics.
Cohen is someone for everyone. His music helps us all.
I loved this song when I was 17. I'm 58 and it still makes me cry. You are timeless and your music and beautiful poetry will live on forever. Thank you for your wonderful legacy.
I feel he same
I found this at 17 too and stil love at 51. Same .... it's beautiful how something that means so much at a totally different age and time still means so much now.
Hello Yvonne..
Well said!!
You're 63 now
I’m not one to comment these sorts of things at all but this song brings me back to early 2018 when I was twelve. My dad and I would listen to this album in his car and it was one of the only times we would *actually* get along. We would sing along and laugh and I’d tell him how much fun I was having.
I don’t see him anymore due to circumstances but if he ever comes across this comment, I want him to know I wish that we could have gotten along more and I miss those moments where it was just us in peace.
It's impossible to overestimate the haunting beauty, the truth, the authenticity of Leonard Cohen's poetic songs for generations who yearned for these things
RIP Mr Cohen. I listened to this song so often that my parrot would sing the chorus.
RIP... Return If Possible...
I laughed
Cool parrot ...
I listened to it too much that my parrot sings the guitar part
Ha haha ha
At 76 l am still listening RIP to the man whose music measured my depression
I'm 12 years old and I love his music he's truly a legend
My dad always loved his music and whenever I listen to Leonard Cohen's songs I end up being in tears
Rest in piece Leonard Cohen ❤
I’m 14 years old and just start listen to his music last year. My sister forced me to listen to his song and now I’m addicted. Thank you síter🙏
How beautiful you are 12 years old and know how beautiful Leonard Cohen his music is. And there is nothing wrong about ending up in tears, cause crying is like laughing and Leonard his songs are word a bit of a cry….you are a special person loving his music and sharing your tears on TH-cam…love this( your story about it❤)
Ive carried the words in the this song in my soul for nearly 50 years
Amazing
me, too
its amazing how we remember the past
Peter Mann me too xx
What a poetic thing to say. It reminds me of a girl i went out with and was a dick to. I hear it and feel instant guilt. This and Silver Spring by Fleetwood Mac
Peter Mann ..me too..
The comments here are as heart touching as this soulful song. It is beautiful to see how this legendary artist reaches out to the deepest wounds and longings of our souls. Each time we listen to him, we are inspired to share our own stories. This is indeed a paradise of Cohen's music and his fans who would keep him immortal.
So sorry to say goodbye. See you soon, sailor.
A poet who could turn tears into words, creating pictures from emotion, courage, love & death...like masterful paintings hung in the galleries of our minds.
Thanking God I was here at a time when I too could share with the millions, his voice, his dreams & love of life.
Thank you mate..may your soul finaly find peace
On learning to play guitar this is on my list first. Love all his music thank you Leonard. R.i.P.
The lyrics, if you may need..
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
Songwriters: Leonard Cohen
My first love bought me Songs of Leonard Cohen when I was 14. We had a romantic summer together and then he left to return home to his country. My heart was broken for the first time and, like many people, I found that these lyrics expressed my feelings very well. I cried every time I played the record. Mr Cohen's poetry is woven into my life and can never be untied.
I had a girlfriend who lived in Cape Town and I lived in Johannesburg 1000miles away. This became our song and it hurt every time we had to say goodbye. I'm 72 now and 52 years later, I still get that feeling every time I listen to it. I wonder if she does.
I hope she does my bru
I can relate to it very well... I was going through the same sort of struggle...before moving to Cape Town.
Oh god. This never fails to make me cry.
You are missed, Mr. Cohen.
my days in San Francisco 1968 singing this while washing dishes...living above Standiford Art Gallery on California Street, Gary, Penny , me and there was Steve he slept under the stairs...his choice, where he did all of his poster art...it was a time where you wanted everything to stand still for like forever
Hello Michelle..
Dreamy
Rest in paradise, L.
Canada was lucky to call you ours.
I love his music so much.. Been listening since very early 70's.. My babysitter was a hippie..! 🤣🤭 I still need to thank her for introducing me to Leonard...
I had a little sister, she had long blond hairs too and passed away because of leukemia, after a two year struggle. She loved Léonard Cohen so much and had been to several concerts of him. We put this song at her funeral. Hopefully he plays for her now where they are...
Sorry for your loss. My best friend died 6 years ago, he was her favorite singer too, when the tears are in my heart I listen to this song and can cry them out. I hope they're both at the most amazing concert....
thank you for breaking my heart so well.
@@MrVal024 Aren't they always?
Its not broke its just growin
A big influence in my life. Rest in peace you beautiful poet.
When I first heard your voice I knew I was was going to love you forever.
No Leonard, that's really no way to say goodbye :( I'll miss you but you're music will stay with me for long.
I have loved that song for so long. Each time the words come to mind I sing it with my heart. It never loses its beauty and grace.
I do the same ❤🎼🎻🕊️
My father loved Leonard Cohen and would play his music at home and I think on 8 track tapes in the car. This takes me back to my childhood and being my fatherʻs little girl. Love Leonard Cohen. RIP Leonard. RIP Dad.
❤
Sad to hear of the passing of Leonard Cohen. This takes me back to a
holiday in North Wales about 1968 and a girlfriend played the album and
sang to this.
Fell in love with this song as it first hit my eardrums!!
What a beauty!!!
I can not describe the influence that Leonard Cohen's music and poetry has had on my understanding of human relationships, love, on my personal thoughts, feelings, and general behaviour. The are dozens of his songs that helped me understand a lot of things I once considered complex, at the time when I was a bewildered youngster.
Leonard Cohen's music made me an even-tempered and careful person. I hope it made me a better man, too. For one thing, it taught me to think again about the things I took for granted, about the fragility of love and time. I am ever so grateful for that.
Your mission was angelic.Thank you for letting us know what you knew and sharing your insights on life.
Good bye Leonard and thank you for the beauty of your poetry in your music. We are enriched by your presence here on earth however brief it was. 82 years was too short a time.
definitey too short, what a wonderful musician he was
🌷🌷🌷🍀🍀🍀
Please, watch "past lives", this song means to much in that movie. I just remember my grandma that passed away 25 years ago and I listened to this song over and over. "My love goes with you and your love stays with me."
Fare thee well, field commander Cohen.
Sleep tight and thank you for the music.
Some of his most quotable lyrics come from this song. My mom and I recited it line by line today and it made me realize just how perfect this song is.
I came here right now right away when I read you died, Leonard. I love your voice, I love your music, I came right away to feel the warmth of yours that touches my heart. This song is my favorite, it makes me cry, makes me smile, makes me feel flood of emotions. I never saw you in a concert, it was my dream but couln't be true, I love you, RIP - A fan from Mexico city.
I always get the feeling this one lasts more than 4min, but that's the essence of Cohen's poetry, so filled with substance and layers, memories and stories ♡
I loved this guy, seeing him live was something else! ❤👍
This song is immensely beautiful, and can't we all be reminded of someone when listening to it?
I lost my best friend last week... I loved her so much
So yes... it reminds me of her
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try,
Your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie,
Your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
Yes many loved before us, I know that we are not new,

But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie,
Your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
cool
You know it Samantha! X
what a wonderful poet he was

A man like no other , timeless 🤍
This song represents a lot to me, it's already part of my life's soundtrack, RIP Master
His music and poetry will live on.
This is such a beautiful song that I've yet to fully understand but I know when I do, it'll be a magical experience. Thank you Leonard Cohen for allowing your brilliance to rest upon my ears.
Farewell, Mr. Cohen. I will always remember when my dad played me this song for the first time. I was 10. Through the years I got to enjoy your beautiful songs with sadness in between. Your melodies, poetry and your kindness always amazed me. Your storytelling was wonderful and forever will be. Thank you for your unforgettable talent and for healing my soul with your singing. Rest in peace you beautiful human being.
Lovely words
Soulfully said Rarethen9. Soulfully said.
He is living JESUS CHRIST IS IN THE FLESH
His voice like fine wine grew even better over time. R.I.P
Wish you a very happy birthday. We're so lucky to found you. You'll live forever in million people's heart. Love you Legend!
Rest in peace sir
A sleepy Golden storm.. Just beyond brilliant.
I forgot how much I love this song!!!
This song brings back my teenage years and first love. I loved him for 50 years but he married someone else and now he’s died. RIP John B.
One of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Leonard Cohen's beautiful legacy will live forever. I was privileged to see him perform live twice, and each time was a thrilling experience.
I'm 51 in 3 wks .... This song and the whole album has been in my life always there in the background. My mum wore the vinyl out many times and had to but a new copy. RIP mum xx
+Jacqui Cryer1964 Carry On for her...I am 64 yrs old,,been a favorite of mine more than half my life....This Song and Suzanne....
+noreen porter I do 😍
Every single time I hear this song, tears just start pouring down my face.
I just used this song for a memorial slideshow for a friend's uncle whom I'd never met...how strange that he then passes away. Rest peacefully beautiful poet. I hate this year...so much loss of so much genius.
how i love this man,his music,books and poetry.
Amazing first album, and despite it's low fi production I think this is the best produced album Leonard every made.
There in the middle of such beautiful poetry of love, the deeply sad and senseless loss of intimacy resides. Softly, gently Leonard Cohen tortures the soul with such intensely palpable incongruity.
So long Leonard, you've kept me company over the years since 1977! What a gent :) xxx
Why am I listening to this, now I can't see anything through the tears...
Fantastic Cohen, always brilliant ♥️🎤♥️🎸♥️🎶✨😘
Thank you Leonard for an entire lifetime of otherwise hidden mysteries and beauty that if not for you would be otherwise unexpressed. God bless you Leonard and thank you from the very deepest depths of my being for your songs that I have been privileged to have graced my life for the past 50 years. A cosmic embrace.
Such a self-less comment deserves more attention, all the best to you.
thank you tony for such a perfect response to this beauty of expression one of the favorites of the world
Well said!!
still playing this album,what a human being,many thanks Leonard Cohen..love your music and kindness forever.....so long !!!
RIP Leonard Cohen.
Another all time great leaves us, what a sad year this has been.
Few could match his poetry and music.
Hey that's no way to say goodbye rest in peace Leonard your a legend ...
So many good memories of this geniuses work...RIP to a great poet and performer.
Hey, two year's on .... and our steps are still rhyming. I first heard the song as a teenager, it is still one of the most moving when I listen to it as a pensioner. God Bless you Leonard...time to light a green candle! I will never say 'Goodbye'
Loved this song on first listen, still love it and, like many Leonard Cohen songs can move me to tears. Transcendent beauty
I found Cohen when I was 16. He seemed to articulate all the pain, joy, and confusion of those years. I bought tickets to see him in 3 countries but he always cancelled. He has been with me all of my life.
“That’s no way to say Goodbye”, by Leonard Cohen.
(Why this song holds a special memory for me).
Having been a "follower & yes, a fan", as well, of both Leonard Cohen's, writings & songs, from November, 1969 when I first heard his album "Songs of"... and when the album "Songs from a Room" became one of the soundtracks, which kept me sane, whilst I was stowing away on a ship, a few days prior to my 21st Birthday, to England (another story, for another time), I wish to extend my gratitude for the accompaniment, of this wonderful, yet humble scribe & teller of stories both dark as well as humorous, via vinyl & then via CD. I still have my book "Flowers for Hitler" in my collection, I guess now, 40 years after I bought it. And frequently peer into its treasures.
I have just finished reading "I'm your man", kindly lent to me by a musician friend (Dan Chioboli), a darn fine "acoustic percussionist" of various aligned & varied types of drums. It was a book, I was loath to finish. However, I did so this morning & once I'd consumed its contents, it was like bidding a friend farewell. Not wanting to see them go, but at the same time, knowing that there was no way, I could convince them otherwise. After all, it would be selfish, expecting them to stay, in the flesh. Especially when they had shared sufficient memories, tales & wisdom, to last me until the "next time we met".
One last thing, before I go...
My mind took me back to about June, 1967, when I was working as a department manager in a Discount store (Game Discount World), in Durban South Africa. I was readying myself to go to work & just after I arose at about 6.00 am, I felt a distinct "buzzing sound" in my ears. My mother had told me at about the age of about 5 years old, that I had been "born with the gift" (able to pick up vibes from the spirit world - another story, for later), after I had experienced a similar sound in my ears & thought a fly had flown into my ears. She could not find any "fly" & it clicked with her what could be occurring. Well remembering that, I knew that "something out worldly was happening to me". It would "be clarified to me later that same morning". I walked to work & upon arriving in one of the departments I was "overseeing". This being the Record Bar". I was drawn to put on an album (Vinyl), for some music (we music lovers are like that ! Got to have music where ever we are), I found myself selecting, without directly deciding on what to play, to the album "Songs of" & in particular to the track "That's no way, to say Goodbye". Suddenly I "heard myself say", "Hey Dad, that's no way to say goodbye".... I found this rather strange, as at the time I was estranged from my father. My mother had passed away in 1970 & my father had remarried. My "Step Mother" had insisted that my Dad disown me, before he married her. Which he did. It wasn't an hour later, that I was called to take a call. On the line was my Step Mother, who had phoned to say that my Dad had passed away a few hours earlier on that same morning.
That number, as a result, holds a special meaning for me & still does every time I play or hear it.
Thanks again, Leonard for the music you were drawn to share with us. Also I thank this site for accepting this post of mine. God bless you all & keep you safe.
Sincerely,
John Knottenbelt. 22nd February, 2016.

My father passed away in 2003. I had a dream last night that we were playing and singing this on guitar around a campfire.
So long Mr. Cohen. You ment a lot to me through my whole life.
i didn't wanna say goodbye mr. cohen...
but thank you for everything you've taught me.
My favourite of his songs along with Hallelujah. Goodnight and rest well.
I have just been listening to Gordon Lightfoot for an hour.....but I always come back to the greatest Canadian of all, Leonard Cohen. This song has always been one of THE ones I've come back to time and time again. Thanks Leonard
Pls suggest me More singers like him?
One of da best songs ever written
Amén.un saludo
great poet and artist - the next Nobel prize... I hope
Truly, a one of a kind and one that will never, ever be replaced. What a legacy!
Someone sang this to me, many,many moons ago now.
Julie VanBerkel Is that someone still there with you ?
I sang this too long time ago. This song reminds me of my long and lost love. Never forgotten, moonbeam.
so underrated this one.....whouh, the tune is so smooth
Soo smooth!! X
You are so great, we couldn't say goodbye, your glory is eternal one!
thank you is all I can say. I've spent many hour listening to u x
Rips my heart out
And fills it back up.
Brings back so many memories I love this song so much
This song bypasses the brain and goes straight to the soul ❤️🙏
In this increasingly plastic world of ours, the authenticy of Leonard's music is food for a starving world..
Brilliant in its complicated simplicity. Who couldn't relate to this song?
I heard this song nearly 50 years ago the first time. Still one of the best I have ever heard.
Heard this when it 1st came out and i was hooked...
Ah Leonard. Heard this song a hundred times but it has been many years. It's a refreshment. Dipping your hands, eyes and ears into magic waters that enlighten the past, criticize the present and challenge the future.
The Godfather of Goosebumps...Rest in Peace.
*I can clearly recall the first time I heard this as a young man 40+ years ago and the feeling of joy, sadness and longing all at once swept over me...these feelings remain yet this song is also like a balm in that I feel so soothed.*
Will never stop listening to you..
The world is less for your leaving.
Leonard a famous poet
Thank you youtube for recommending this masterpiece for me
Every time I hear this, I think of the time I had to release his hand from mine and say Goodbye - my throat was CHOKED UP - I was ALMOST CRYING - but in the briefest of TIME it became Leonard's LESSON to me - when you say GOODBYE it's neither "BEGINNING" nor " END" - it's DIVINELY APPOINTED SEPARATION - you don't KNOW whether or not you'll REUNITE - but your HEART is ALWAYS in the RIGHT PLACE - LOVE!
This song has always been a personal favorite. It feels like the color orange. Rusty orange. But it has glitter in it. Just a pinch
Tears in my eyes. RIP legend
No woman no cry.
