"Comment te dire adieu?" (English: "How to Tell You Goodbye?") is a French adaptation of the song "It Hurts to Say Goodbye". It was recorded by Françoise Hardy in 1968. The song, originally called "It Hurts to Say Goodbye", was written by Arnold Goland and Jacob Gold and was recorded by Margaret Whiting in 1966. It was also recorded by Vera Lynn in 1967. Hardy heard an American instrumental version of the song and her manager asked Serge Gainsbourg to provide suitable lyrics for it.
