Lyrics[]
So this is goodbye now, you turn to leave me I watch you go
I don't want to cry but the tears come streaming, I miss you so
Somewhere in the world you might find the answers you're looking for
I'll be waiting here when your journey's over, come back once more
I'll be sad and lonely too until we're back together again, close my eyes and I think of you now and then, my friend
Goodbye now Godzilla, Goodbye now Godzilla, until then
Take care now Godzilla, take care now Godzilla, my old friend
Sayonara till we meet again
Now you're far away, I will keep a picture locked in my heart
I'll remember moments we've shared together, while we're apart
I'll be sad and lonely too until we're back together again, close my eyes and I think of you now and then, my friend
Goodbye now Godzilla, Goodbye now Godzilla, until then
Take care now Godzilla, take care now Godzilla, my old friend
Sayonara till we meet again
Trivia[]
- Interestingly, despite this song being a tie-in song that appears only in the Japanese cut of the film, it is sung entirely in English, aside from the use of the Japanese word "sayonara."
- Dr. Ishiro Serizawa's final words to Godzilla, in Japanese, "Goodbye, old friend" may be a reference to this song.
