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
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.
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.
I can relate to that. It brings back so many happy memories 🥰😊
Fortunately for me I did not have a girlfriend till I turned 26 so I missed al the misery. But I did listen to every word Leonard ever sang. Read his poetry it is even better.
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
At 76 l am still listening RIP to the man whose music measured my depression
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
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..
Every single time I hear this song, tears just start pouring down my face.
I can understand 🌹🕊️💞
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 RUclips…love this( your story about it❤)
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
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
Sad: I guess many of us have been [more or less] through this "parting is such sweet sorrow," as the Bard put it.
Thank you Leonard. RIP.
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."
😔😪😭All my furry babies…Soon soon I’m 74 thank GOD💔
Rest in paradise, L.
Canada was lucky to call you ours.
I heard this song nearly 50 years ago the first time. Still one of the best I have ever heard.
Simply the best 💞🕊️🌹
When I first heard your voice I knew I was was going to love you forever.
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
🌷🌷🌷🍀🍀🍀
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.
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.
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.
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 this guy, seeing him live was something else! ❤👍
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 😍
He encapsulates emotion in such a beautiful way. World can actually describe what his music is saying and the feeling it brings upon you.
No Leonard, that's really no way to say goodbye :( I'll miss you but you're music will stay with me for long.
A big influence in my life. Rest in peace you beautiful poet.
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,

the best song
never gets old
I agree ❤
“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.

But thank you for sharing your heart-touching story,your father is still with you,in here➡💖And our Father will have an amazing place for him to stay,and may you meet him when the time comes💖R.I.P your father,I'm so sorry💖From Cora Lynch💖
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.
Fare thee well, field commander Cohen.
Sleep tight and thank you for the music.
The most amazing, unforgettable man... a true Canadian loss.
Hello Linda..
A loss to the Music World!
I was just a country boy visiting a friend in the Big City for the first time. In his small but elegant apartment, halfway between the clouds and the world, I was stuck for hours, waiting for him to come home from work.
To kill the time, I browsed through his CD's and inserted this one. Suddenly a window opened up, and through it stepped the timeless balladeer whose songs were so different to anything you'll ever hear.
I stared out the across the entire world as Leonard Cohen took me places. And then he took me to "Hey, that's no way to say goodbye..." -and added, "I loved you in the morning, our kissed deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm."
I knew a girl like that once, and I could see her now. "Yes, many loved before us; I know that we are not new..."
Everything about this song is without equal. The simple, yet captivating rhythm of the guitar, the periodic almost over-play of slightly distorted bass. Notice how the volume builds and ebbs with the emotion. And through it all, the balladeer never strains at all. He's just telling a story, that's all he does.
Then my mind drifts to her sleeping form again and, "...your eyes were soft with sorrow..." , and "...hey, that's no way to say goodbye..."
I played it again immediately. And then another time. And I have played it over and over a million times since then. And then comes tonight, and I stumble across it once again - and I even after all these years - I still play the same song six times over.
Gracias un saludo.
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.
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 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?
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!!
Listening to this song without ever being in love is a peculiar experience. It's so deeply moving and yet I have no frame of reference.
I agree
How odd you must have loved someone a family member a friend or maybe even the idea of someone or a character in a love story or fairytale it’s really all the same feeling just intensified .. I hope you and anyone who thinks like you will live and see love is not unattainable .
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!
Heard this when it 1st came out and i was hooked...
So long Leonard, you've kept me company over the years since 1977! What a gent :) xxx
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.
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'
This song represents a lot to me, it's already part of my life's soundtrack, RIP Master
It's 12:03AM here in my country right now. New year everyone! It's 2024. We survived 2023!
His voice like fine wine grew even better over time. R.I.P
A man like no other , timeless 🤍
Las maravillosas canciones de Leonard Cohen me conmueven y me hacen llorar, hay tanto sentimiento auténtico en ellas, tanta poesía; los coros, la música, las letras, todo es mágico.
The greatest poet of the late 20th century. Way beyond everyone else. His addiction was women and from that he depressed himself and so could get his poetry out. He used a natural addiction like a bandage which he ripped off to reveal his soul.
Well said
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!
Rest in peace sir
Hey that's no way to say goodbye rest in peace Leonard your a legend ...
His music and poetry will live on.
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.
I love this song... goodbye, Leonard, Rest in Peace!!!
MY SON, NOW DEPARTED GAVE ME A CD OF LEONARDS GREATEST SONGS, AND I LOVED THEM, THOUGH MY SON IS GONE, I STILL HAVE THE CD. HERE'S TO YOU STEVE...
RIP Leonard Cohen.
Another all time great leaves us, what a sad year this has been.
Few could match his poetry and music.
goodbye Leonard and thank you for your gift
You are so great, we couldn't say goodbye, your glory is eternal one!
great poet and artist - the next Nobel prize... I hope
Thank you youtube for recommending this masterpiece for me
Brings back so many memories I love this song so much
For my friend Kathleen, wherever you are, who brought these beautiful songs to us. Thanks
Why am I listening to this, now I can't see anything through the tears...
So long Mr. Cohen. You ment a lot to me through my whole life.
Leonard a famous poet
My father passed away in 2003. I had a dream last night that we were playing and singing this on guitar around a campfire.
i fell in love with this song and with a man in 1969 - i was 15, he had golden hair and i will never forget either
RIP Leonard.......thank you for your poetry......
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.
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
Rips my heart out
And fills it back up.
I was born in Cape Town, now I reside in London.The first few moments I heard Leonard sing, I knew instantly that he had unusual qualities
*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.*
This song bypasses the brain and goes straight to the soul ❤️🙏
Did only fathers play Leonard? I'm a mother and I played his songs for my children. After they were grown, I played them for my dogs.
Love every poetry from Leonard Cohen I was 15 and now 65 still my favorite
i had this song on repeat on a coach back home from montréal. i’ll forever think of leonard whenever i’m in that city.
loss is the greatest tragedy we must overcome in our lives, this is a deep well of sorrow to come out of, but Leonard has already addressed these issues many times and the answers are in his music
Surely his most beautiful song 🎼🎻🕊️
you have touched my soul Leonard with your music and lyrics. Rest in peace. You will not be forgotten. The next time in the summer when I approach Hydra I will have your music in my heart.
Was fortunate to see this wonderful man in concert on three occasions. A joyous and tearful experience.
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
so ture too life
Tears in my eyes. RIP legend
No woman no cry.
Come back in the next life with the same voice and new songs.
Jeden z najpiękniejszych utworów Mistrza Cohena ♥
Feels too soon to say goodbye, but we have you with us.
This is one of my favorite songs next to Suzanne , Leonard was and is great always !! Peaceful rememberances , of happiness of listening to this beautiful song !!
And it comes to you, he never was a stranger . RIP Mr Cohen . You've lifted me out of dark places all my life .
Forever may you rest in peace Leonard Cohen. Have just come upon this man's musical talent and that should be spelled with a capital T. Only word i can come up with is a simple WOW!
Une de mes chansons préférées de leonard cohen ...souvenir d un petit anglais qui adorait leonard cohen ..nous avions cet amour en commun ...comme il nous manque ce poète ! Hey that s no way to say goodbye ! See you in heaven !
when i was young i'd play this song and it made me so sad, like so uncomfortable. Like someone who i loved was saying that to me and was going to walk out. but i would just play it anyways, like some sort of feeling of being bound to the reality of it, and then just be in this heavy somber feeling afterwards. And then one day I could not play it anymore, and then for years I could not listen to it, remembering those feelings, not even a part of it, not even a second of it.
And this is the first time i have played it since then. It is a nice song. I saved it. I may just play it again tomorrow.
Isn't it amazing that Cohen can paint with words something so strong that you felt emotional discomfort. His resignation that things change is unsettling knowing that they have not lost their love for one another, but there appears to be this hurt that has cost them their intimacy. It feels tragic that he is walking away. Thanks for sharing your feelings. I think that with this song Cohen has successfully resonated within others the sorrow of the end of we when one chooses goodbye.
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.
Leonard Cohen brings the most beautiful things out of human beings.
You will never be forgotten as your music lives on.You were my all time favourite artist & listening to your voice evokes so many memories fir me. Good & sad.RIP Lenny.🌹🙋🏼
Godspeed, Leonard. Thank you for the music and poetry.
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
'Walk me to the corner, our steps will always ryhme'.
a rare outing for cohen as love struck fool, although even here the tender promise that "our steps will always rhyme" is undermined, as love runs aground on distances.
I hope it wasn't too painful and may you rest in eternal peace
I agree...he was so brave to the end
Forever grateful i found this song early in my life so i can listen to it for the rest of it
