Saying Good-Bye

A song from 1977... about a girl I loved and lost. It turns out that it expresses well any relationship that has come to its natural end.

I played this at my mother's memorial service in 2004.

Saying Good-bye

I guess I've said

All words can say

And Played all the memories

I can play

All that's left

Is to say good bye to you

And Sayin' Goodbye

Is always the hardest thing to do

We've had some good times

and a few that were bad

Sharin' the laughter

And the teardrops

When we were sad

I've enjoyed

All this time spent with you

But saying goodbye

is always the hardest thing to do

BRIDGE:

So dream your dreams

And smile your smile

And don't forget

all the while

I have loved you

And I'll always love you

Just as you are

The lights have all

Faded so low

And I guess it's time

For you to go

I'll always remember

Lovin' you

And that Sayin' Good Bye

Was the hardest thing

I've ever had to do.
