Verse 1

There's no such thing as goodbye

I might go, but I won't leave you

Love, you must believe me

Even though it hurts

Verse 1

I want you to let me go

And tomorrow I want you to move on

But if you're lonely or scared

I'll be there

Chorus 1

I'll come like the wind you feel and the rain

I'll follow what you do like the light of the moon

Look for me in everything and you'll run into me

Whisper my name

And I'll come

Verse 2

See

What's invisible

What you believe is true

Just open your eyes and

Then I'll be with you

All you have to do

Is take me at my word

There's no such thing as goodbye

I'll come like the wind you feel and the rain

I'll follow what you do like the light of the moon

Look for me in everything and you'll run into me

Whisper my name

And I'll come

Look at the sky, look at the sea

Wherever you walk, I'll walk with you

Every step and every moment

Wherever you are

Whatever you do, wherever you go

When you need me

Just whisper my name

And I'll come

There's no such thing as goodbye

SONG MEANING

Afscheid Nemen Bestaat Niet (literally Goodbyes Don’t Exist) is Marco Borsato’s comforting promise that real love never packs its bags. Singing from the perspective of someone who has to leave, he reassures his partner that his presence will linger in the wind on her cheek, the rain on her window, and the moonlight guiding her path. He urges her to keep moving forward, confident she can summon him at any moment by simply whispering his name.

The song transforms the pain of separation into a soothing vow of eternal connection. Whether distance, time, or even death tries to come between them, the bond they share transcends it all. By believing in what cannot be seen, the listener finds strength, hope, and the warm certainty that they are never truly alone.
