A Song For You, Goodbye

I’ve been in so many places in my life
in time
I’ve sang a lot of songs
I’ve made some bad rights
I acted out my life on stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we’re alone and I am singing this song for you
I know your image of me
is what I hope to be
I treated you unkindly
but baby can’t you see?
There is no one more important to me
so can you please see through me?
cause we’re alone and I am singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth
with holding nothing
you came out in front
and I was hiding
but now I am so much better
and if my words don’t come together
listen to the melody
cause my love’s in there hiding
cause my love’s in there hiding
I love you in a place
where there’s no space or time
I love you for my life
you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
remember when we were together
we’re alone and I was singing this song for you
I’ll never forget you
I’ll never forget you
I’ll never forget how we promise one day
to love one another forever that way
we said we’d never say goodbye
but that was long ago
and you’d forgotten, I know
no use to wonder why
let’s say farewell with a sigh
and let love die
But we will go on living
our own way of living
so you take the high road
I’ll take the long
It’s time that we parted
it’s much better so
so kiss me as you go
Goodbye
