HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Birth Name" is not recognized
Angela Tomasa Bofill (born May 3, 1954) is an American R&B and jazz singer and songwriter.
Early life and success
Angela Bofill was born to a Cuban father and an Afro Puerto Rican mother. Growing up, listening to latin music, she was also inspired by the African-American performers in those days. During her childhood, her weekends were taken up studying classical music and singing in a city chorus. It was as a teenager that her professional singing began. She performed with Ricardo Marrero & the Group and Dance Theater of Harlem chorus prior to being introduced to Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen (of the jazz label GRP Records) by her friend, the jazz flautist Dave Valentin. Grusin and Rosen signed Bofill and produced her first album, Angie, in 1978. Angie was well received both critically and commercially and included the chart single "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" (co-written by Gwen Guthrie), as well as Bofill's sprawling jazz composition, "Under the Moon and Over the Sky". Less than a year later, a second album, Angel of the Night was released and outperformed its predecessor. The album included the chart singles "What I Wouldn't Do (For the Love of You)" and the up tempo title track, as well as the self-written song "I Try" (covered by Will Downing in 1991). The reception of these albums positioned Bofill as one of the first Latina singers to find success in the R&B and jazz markets.

Time To Say Goodbye
by: Angela BofillJust the other day I said hello to you.
Now it seems like time has passed us by.
I wish there was a treasure I could show to you
To make our love come back and never die.
Chorus:
Now it’s time to say goodbye
I don’t know why
Things happen as they do w/ only you
Now I think I’m gonna cry
But at least I know we try
Oh baby it’s time to say goodbye.
Goodbye to all the things we hold so dear to us.
Goodbye to all the things we used to do.
Goodbye to everybody far and near to us
But that won’t ever stop me from loving you.
Now it’s time to say goodbye
I don’t know why
Things happen as they do w/ only you
Wish I didn’t have to go
But deep inside I know
That baby it’s time to say goodbye.
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Goodbye…goodbye…
Now it’s time to say goodbye
I don’t know why
Things happen as they do w/ only you
Wish I didn’t have to go
But deep inside I know
That baby it’s time to say goodbye.
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye to all the things we used to do now
It’s time to say goodbye to all the family and friends
It’s time to say goodbye to all the friends we used to see now
Even though I know that this is really not the end
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
