WHEN YOU SAY GOODBYE TO A FRIEND

THE SUN DOES NOT SHINE AS BRIGHT AS IT ONCE DID

THE SKY IS LESS CLEAR, DARKER SOMEHOW,

THE AIR SMELLS LESS SWEET.

THE BREEZE DOES NOT HOLD ON TO THE

WARMTH OF THE SUN

SO AS IT BLOWS IT LEAVES A CHILL OF

FAIRWELL.

RAIN DROPS THAT USED TO KISS YOU GENTLY

NOW FALL ON YOU, YOUR WORLD IS A LITTLE LONELIER NOW

SINCE YOU'VE SAID GOODBYE TO A FRIEND

SO MUCH STILL TO SHARE, SO MUCH LEFT TO SAY

NOW ONLY HEARD IN YOUR HEART AND

SHARED THROUGH YOUR SOUL.

IN YOUR MIND THE CONVERSATIONS YOU USED TO SHARE

PLAY ENDLESSLY LIKE A OLD, USED TAPE

NOW THAT YOU'VE SAID GOODBYE TO A FRIEND

CONSTANTLY GOING OVER THE GOOD THINGS YOU REMEMBER,

CONVENIENTLY FORGETTING THE OTHER.

WHILE NEW THINGS YOU WISH YOU COULD SHARE ROLL AROUND

IN YOUR HEART.

THERE'S A PLACE IN YOUR HEART THAT WILL NEVER

BE FILLED AGAIN,

NOW THAT YOU'VE SAID GOODBYE TO A FRIEND

A LITTLE PART OF YOU LOST FOREVER

THE SMILE THAT WAS ONCE BARELY CONTAINED

AND SHARED SPACE WITH THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES

ARE NOW JUST MEMORIES

TO LOOK BACK ON AND REMINISCE ABOUT.

NOW THAT YOU'VE SAID GOOD BYE TO A FRIEND

SOMEONE YOU THOUGHT WOULD BE THERE FOREVER

NOW NO LONGER A PART OF YOUR LIFE

AND YET THEY ALWAYS WILL BE.

AND IN YOUR SOUL YOU KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN

TOO MANY GOODBYES……………
