Music: Time To Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman

When Im alone..................................I dream on the horizon

And words fail;......................Yes, I know there is no light

In a room....................Where the sun is not there

If you are not with me.

.

"Con te partirò" (literally meaning "With you I will leave") is an Italian operatic pop song written by Francesco Sartori (music) and Lucio Quarantotto (lyrics). It was first sung by Andrea Bocelli at the 1995 San Remo Festival and recorded on his album of the same year, Bocelli, and is considered Bocelli's signature song. The song achieved widespread success with a second version sung partly in English, pairing Bocelli with soprano Sarah Brightman, released as "Time to Say Goodbye". Since its release, the song has spawned numerous other versions and been performed by numerous other singers. Notable alternate versions include "Por ti volaré", a Spanish version with significantly modified lyrics, and "I Will Go with You (Con te partirò)", a dance remix performed by Donna Summer. In 2008 Danish pop duo The Loft released their single "Kiss You Goodbye"' based on "Con te partirò"/"Time to Say Goodbye" and containing samples from the originals.

Lyrics: Time to say goodbye

----------------------

When Im alone

I dream on the horizon

And words fail;

Yes, I know there is no light

In a room

Where the sun is not there

If you are not with me.

At the windows

Show everyone my heart

Which you set alight;

Enclose within me

The light you

Encountered on the street.

Time to say goodbye,

To countries I never

Saw and shared with you,

Now, yes, I shall experience them,

Ill go with you

On ships across seas

Which, I know,

No, no, exist no longer;

With you I shall experience them.

When you are far away

I dream on the horizon

And words fail,

And yes, I know

That you are with me;

You, my moon, are here with me,

My sun, you are here with me.

With me, with me, with me,

Time to say goodbye,

To countries I never

Saw and shared with you,

Now, yes, I shall experience them,

Ill go with you

On ships across seas

Which, I know,

No, no, exist no longer;

With you I shall re-experience them.

Ill go with you

On ships across seas

Which, I know,

No, no, exist no longer;

With you I shall re-experience them.

Ill go with you,

I with you.
