It Hurts To Say Goodbye (1954) - Vera Lynn

[pcjhappystation]

This is not a 1954 recording. It was the late 60s.

[2009Infidel]

A very beautiful song and well performed by Vera Lynn. The lyrics to the song was written by Arnold Goland, and the music by Jack Gold. However, and even though both gentlemen, apparently were very talented, the internet unfortunately only provides very scanty information on their persona. The only conclusion i've been able to come to is that they were American and - judging by their family names - of Jewish ancestry.

In French : " Comment te dire adieu" by Françoise Hardy . ( Around 1970 ? )

this is so exciting. That is why i love you tube. I thought this song was original from French ,cauz i heard this from Franscoise Hardy: Comment Te Dire Adieu. then I found on you tube with this song with few difference versions like from ABBA (Frida group before they were famous as ABBA world wide) then japanese version, Russian version, Germany version, and Jane Birkine sang this song with different sound too. check them out
