goodbye
reflections on broken marriages...
goodbye

seems like yesterday was so long ago
sometimes I forget - did you love me then?
you did what you thought best - that's been so hard to know
freed now from a life of "let's pretend"
that the memories I've held on to are real
I guess it's just the way I'd like to feel
that the ones I do recall
good and true
have made it now so hard to say to you
goodbye, goodbye
It's taken this time but now I'm letting go
goodbye, goodbye
I loved you once - now I'm letting go
you gave me promises - were they too hard to keep?
sometimes I regret the tears we cried
we did what best we could - but we were broken so deep
a love could never mend much less survive
every memory I've held on to - I feel
like shadows holding back what they reveal
but the ones I do recall - good and true
have made it now so hard to say to you
goodbye, goodbye
it's taken this time but now I'm letting go
goodbye, goodbye
I loved you once - now I'm letting go
(Instrumental break - 8 bars)
goodbye, goodbye
it's taken this time but now I'm letting go
goodbye, goodbye
I loved you once - now I'm letting go
- Folk
- Rock
- goodbye
