Smile... and say goodbye.........losing a friend is never easy
Smile.....and say goodbye
The words have all been written,
somehow they've all been said
The last words that you spoke to me
still echo through my head
Your vision is your vision
it's not for me to say
To close my eyes and not see
has never been my way
I've known my share of sorrow
I've cried my share of tears
I've danced and sang along lifes beach
many times, over the years
I know that life's a mixture
a bit of this and that
I may have only this life
can't say if I'll be back
I'm sorry you don't need me
your heart has no more room
Somehow your life is full enough
you've learned to accept the gloom
Happiness is beneath you
you've learned to rise above
No such time, as time for me
and no such time for love
Ok, I will accept that
and go about my life
As we speak , from time to time
I'll keep it nice and light
No reminder of the could have beens
no questions, as to why
I'll talk about the weather
smile.......and say goodbye.
