| Goodbye |
| Goodbye's the hardest word that you'll ever have to say To people that you love when you go your separate ways It always feels so final, so conclusive, so concrete But it never feels quite right; it just never feels complete Don't tell me it's goodbye, because I do not want to leave We'll see each other someday soon, I need that to believe Remember, it's not goodbye, it's until we meet again It's not, I'm going to miss you, it's do you remember when... Don't wallow on the tears, but remember all the smiles We'll all be back together, though it might take a little while We didn't make just memories, we made each other whole I can see you in every thing I do; I can see you in my soul Don't be sorry that it's over, but be grateful it began Both the laughter and the tears were essential to the plan We still have much to learn from each other and ourselves So don't tell me goodbye, but instead say fare thee well I'll never find another friend who can take the place of you Or another who can touch my heart the same way that you do There's no one quite as caring and no one I'd cherish so There's no one who can measure up, I just wanted you to know It's hard to make new friends just to be torn away so soon But I'll see you in my dreams and I'll meet you on the moon Just five days in Seattle, and it didn't even rain We had nothing to lose, but we had friendships we could gain We bonded during mafia and tried to stay alive We weeded at the nursery to help the trees survive We walked the Ave and hung out in a park just north of Pike's We learned that though we're different, we're all so much alike I won't see you tomorrow, and maybe not for another year Though we're distant in miles, in my heart you're always near Look back on tears and laugh, but don't look back on laughs and cry Remember, it isn't over, it's I'll see you soon, it's not goodbye. |
