"Standing on the Edge of Goodbye" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist John Berry. It was released in February 1995 as the first single from the album Standing on the Edge. The song reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[1] It was written by Berry and Stewart Harris.

Berry wrote the song with Stewart Harris, a Nashville songwriter with whom he had never worked before. The song is composed in the key of B-flat major, and recalls an ending relationship which the narrator calls "standing on the edge of goodbye".[2]

Critical reception

Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Berry "picks up the tempo but continues to travel down the same country/soul road that got him where he is." and that it "showcases some solid writing chops."[3]
