„It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” is an R&B song written by Motown husband-and-wife songwriting team Freddie Perren and Christine Yarian for the 1975 film Cooley High. In the film, the song is performed by Motown artist G.C. Cameron, whose rendition peaked at number 38 on the Billboard R&B singles chart that same year. Perren also composed the instrumental score for Cooley High, and the B-side to „It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” features two of his score compositions from the film.
The composition fared better when covered in an a cappella rendition by contemporary R&B Motown group Boyz II Men 16 years later. Boyz II Men’s recording of „It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” peaked at number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and number two on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 21, 1991. The song also reached number five on the Hot 100 Airplay on December 7, 1991 and number two on the Hot Singles Sales on November 23, 1991. „It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” was included on Boyz II Men’s first album, Cooleyhighharmony, its name a reference to the film from which the song originated.
It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday Lyrics
How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.
I thought we’d get to see forever
But forever’s gone away
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I don’t know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we’ve been
And what we’ve been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it’s worth all the wait
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I’ll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I’ll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
