Saying Goodbye to a Friend

If I lose my concentration

Disappear from the conversation

Don't mind me

I'm saying goodbye to a friend

I try to start each day out cheerful

But if my eyes get blue and tearful

Please understand

I'm saying goodbye to a friend

I broke a dish while I was washing dishes

Fell to the floor in a million pieces

It's not just something you can pick up in your hand

These little that shouldn't matter

Make something inside me shatter

And I'm on my knees

Saying goodbye to a friend

[Chorus:]

It's like the end of an era

Like a scene in a rear view mirror

I thought I'd got past it

Now I'm looking at it again

Saying goodbye to a friend

All our secret dreams and fears

All that's left of those hard earned years

Kick up like dry leaves

And drift off on the wind

Just when I think I've let it go

I catch a chill and that wind will blow

I'm out in the cold

Saying goodbye to a friend

[chorus]
